Sure, but the same could be said about Python. In the early 2010s, Perl still reigned supreme in my field, yet Python usurped it, despite having no concrete advantages over Python except a better design.
And of course, Perl also replaced an existing language. It's not like people settled on Fortran in the 1950s and then never moved on.
Yes, but the situation seems to be different now. Perl wasn't as widely used, especially at universities, for ML, DL, Statistics, etc. as Python is now.
