Apps take time. IIRC, for a long time the big Python applications were Grim Fandango and some research software at LLNL.


Actually, large chunks of Grim Fandango were written in Lua.

You're absolutely correct... I'd somehow conflated the two in my mind. I guess the first big Python game was actually Eve Online. I can't recall any big, early Python applications outside of the LLNL work... which, I suppose, says even more about applications being a poor indicator of early language uptake.
