Was Python really *such* big business so long ago? Without put-
ting myself out to look through my notes, and make sure of what I
have permission to disclose, I can point, for instance, to <URL:

"By October 1998, Pedhazur had invested $750,000" in Digital Cre-
ations, the company behind Python-based Web framework Zope (modulo
a few name changes). That's not the only case. So, yes, I repeat:
Python-based Web business well beyond the scale of "parts we found
in a dumpster" has been going on for a decade.
I'm ready to grant Ruby on Rails has impacted cultural awareness
in a way Python doesn't yet touch. I'm not a good judge of such
matters.
