Ditto on the Sys Admin side with Python - Perl had modules for everything, but the inbuilt punctuation variables mixed with regexs for everything and the flexibility Perl offered led to a perception that nobody could maintain anybody else's stuff.
Sys admins were still about getting shit done quickly at scale, and Python slowly began to replace Perl. Python 2 had string methods built in, Red Hat switched everything to Python, tool.s like LXML started coming out right when we all had to munge XML all day and suddenly that was it.
