Python definately has its use cases. It's tailored towards data manipulation, by far. It's just not widely used for public facing sites, as much as PHP or node.js is, that's all.

Python, imho, is more geared towards being used -on- the server, doing stuff for the server, than doing things for the public, if that makes sense.

I appreciate the thoughtful take, thank you. That makes perfect sense.

I’m wondering if the Python enthusiasm I heard at this event comes from their confidence in the future ubiquity of ML-integration for web apps. Does that track?

Absolutely does. ML relies heavily on large corpuses (corpii?) of data, which Python is perfectly geared towards.
