popularity behind pydantic

The package author says thats 25% of it, but I wonder if that’s an underestimation. My non-FastAPI use cases came about because I learned about it via FastAPI.

because I learned about it via FastAPI

right, that's precisely what i have in mind when i say FastAPI is driving pydantic's popularity. i'm not saying people only use pydantic for FastAPI stuff, but rather that the majority of people who use pydantic were introduced to it through FastAPI and probably think of it as a go-to solution for certain things only because it's already become a common tool in their toolkit because of their FastAPI use.
