How popular were Python versions before 2.0?
According to wikipedia, first Python was 1991, first JavaScript 1995 (only about half a year after Java!) and Python 2 in 2000. I think RedHat used the pre-2.0 Python, but it was fairly unheard of anywhere else. The most common scripting language in the Unix world back then was Perl, which existed since 1988 and was 5.000 also since 1995 (about the same as Java).
… either way, OOP was still hot and malleable and nobody understood how to do it properly nor why it's not such a stellar idea as it looked.
I asked for popularity and you gave me release dates. How very TDWTF of you.

Hey! Where did you get our internal documents showing how we do the plumbing of our software?
-
@BernieTheBernie Why does your internal programming document have a picture of my house?
-
@hungrier Because you used our top secret documents as instruction materials?

I did bury a little bit about popularity in it though.

Is that popular or are you just statistically significant for me?
Wow that sounded way better in my head...

@Zecc ..... Why can I see the edit history on a deleted post?
My edit history is public. I guess deleting is technically an edit?
No it's a flag. I blame our custom post history plugin... again....
Yeah, that's a strong possibility. Anywho...funny stuff, so:

So you did, but I will never admit to having miss it.
You know the rules, and so do I.

This is nothing new. Around 80 or 90 years ago, Robert Benchley wrote a series of articles on traveling in Europe, and in one of them he proposed some suggestions for people who wished to learn French. He began with the table of vowels:
A pronounced "ong"
E pronounced "ong"
I pronounced "ong"
O pronounced "ong"
U pronounced "ong".Some years earlier, Mark Twain did something similar for German, taking great delight in the apparently random way genders are assigned to German nouns:
"Gretchen. Wilhelm, where is the turnip?"
"Wilhelm. She has gone to the kitchen."
"Gretchen. Where is the accomplished and beautiful English maiden?"
"Wilhelm. It has gone to the opera."Twain titled his article "The Awful German Language".

That's basically the case, to varying degree, with all Indo-European languages except English.

Yeah, but they can't even agree on which arbitrary gender to assign the same things! (Standard example: the sun is male in French and female in German, while the moon is the other way round.)
-
@da-Doctah And why would they agree? It's arbitrary after all.

English assigns genders to some things, such as ships and the sea.
-
@dkf That's just sailors' sexual frustration.
-
@Bulb Not at all. A ship requires constant care and maintenance. But even if you do everything right, it can still sink without warning, taking you down with it. Kind of like women and marriage. ...Is where the femininity of ships comes from.
Edited to add:
Any ship or boat will also take all of your time and money; nothing is ever enough. Which is also reminiscent of women, according to old adage.

And in Polish (slonce / ksieszyc, plus several diacritics), both are non-pronounciable, so you do not need to worry anyway.

English seems to have as much grammatical gender as Swedish.
