I think it's more accurate to say the Python is a very niche language in your field. Python is everywhere in all aspects of computational and data science, ML and most engineering fields. Even in your country.

That being said I have observed that using Python as a web/backend language seems to be more common in North America than in Europe, but I have no evidence to back that up.

Unless your country barely has any computers, I find it hard to believe.

First world country, middle of Europe, Java everywhere. And C#.

Saw Python last at university and just because I wanted to.

I know nobody that works with Python on a day by day basis and I know many nerds like me :)

That just seems to be the bias of your work. Python is absolutely huge in ML.

I know and it is.

Just wanted to put it into perspective, because people tend to think their bubble is the whole world. (Oh the irony;-))
