I can’t remember the exact quotation, but it goes along the lines of, “Every successful language began as the scripting language for something popular.” (Anyone able to provide the correct quote?)

If that’s the case, “The right place at the right time” is when something new is taking off, like C for Unix, Ruby for Rails, Objective C for iOS, or recently JavaScript for Node.
