[python-nl] Python is popular?

[Niels Bom]

I don't *know* if it's true either.

But I *suspect* that having a standard is pretty important in order to be
popular in a certain field, take a look at iPhones/MS Office etc..

Whether a language can sustain something is more of a technical thing imho,
you can write a web framework in assembly but I doubt whether it'll be
widely adopted/extended.
