My exact reaction when ,I was researching on legacy programming language and their copyrights for my intellectual property rights subject.

Found that
Python was released before Java did.
But the popularity Java claimed was faster than python

Python first release date 20 Feb 1991
Java first release date 23 Jan 1996

Could anyone explain y python gained is momentum later!?

    Because it was a scripted language I guess. Java gained popularity because it was a revolution in cross-compatibility. At the time, it was more difficult to develop something for multiple platforms.

    After, all the AI and deep learning, scientifical computation, plugins (like in GIMP), and task automation became a big thing.
    So Python became popular.
