I never said python continues to be a language of ease for all use cases, I am talking about what precipitated adoption, not whether it is the best language it could be. To be fair, its abstractions make things which are downright difficult in C easier.

My last statement referred to with python 3 and above, there is active development of the language's fundamental constructs. I guess there is active ES6 etc. C's newer standards aren't groundshakingly different from its original implementation.
