So Python owns machine learning.
And it's growing, right?
And it's growing in importance, right?
And you even go back before that.
Like, my kids learn Python.
Not because I'm telling them to learn Python, but because... Were they rebelling against you or what?
Well, they also learned Scratch and things like this too.
But it's because Python is taught everywhere.
Because it's easy to learn.
And because it's pervasive.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, and if you look at this, there's these growth cycles, right?
If you look at what causes things to become popular and then gain in popularity, there's reinforcing feedback loops and things like this.
And I think Python has done, again, the whole community has done a really good job of building those growth loops and help propel the ecosystem.
And I think that, again, you look at what you can get done with just a few lines of code.
It's amazing.
Yeah, well, I mean, I think that the viral growth loop is to switch people to Unicode.
I think the Unicode file extensions are what I'm betting on.
I think that's going to be the thing.
