I work in this industry, and here’s what I’ve observed:
It’s a nice, tidy language that’s not hard to pick up. You don’t have to be a language guru to use it.
It embeds nicely in C/C++ applications.
It has data types, so numeric operations can be done without type shimmering.
Speaking of numeric operations, NumPy!
Network effect — everybody else uses it, so we get a virtuous cycle of interoperable scripting.
