Python has seen crazy growth over the last 5 years:<p>https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=php,javascript,python,ruby<p>Is that because everyone and their dog are now writing AI software, or is it also widely used for other areas?<p>In particular, I would be interested how popular it is to write web applications in Python these days.
Django is used widely for CRUD apps or any area you'd typically use Rails. Flask is also a popular option among developers and theres been a few new generation python microframeworks focused around ASGI popup in the last few years. I haven't used it for years but my girlfriend uses it heavily for scientific computing and data science which is I'd say where a big chunk of it's userbase is.
