Python was on the right spot as Tcl/Perl successor, Ruby only became known thanks to Rails and arrived too late for that.

Already in early 2000's CERN was scripting their builds, Fortran and C++ tooling with Python.

Their Grid Computing tutorials, predating what we now call Cloud, already used Python.
