I don't believe the "syntax win" scenario. Python is also ugly, due to the required indentation, like yaml.
I believe more in the ecosystem, specifically how the computer vision and machine learning movements have adopted python extensively as frontend language (the heavy weightlifting is still doing in C++).
The exploit of numpy has brought many many use cases into the language as well.
