Man, you shocked me on fact 1!

I can explain why, though. Java made a splash immediately because it was backed by Sun Microsystems, a huge company. I myself was earning a living programming in Java within three years of it being released, I didn't realize that fact until your article.

Python was created by an academic as a personal project initially, and didn't start to gain momentum until Python 2.

Still, quite a surprise to learn this. Have claps!
