Because Java has Sun's crazy-money behind it, and that pisses Microsoft
off, so C# has MS's crazy-money behind it. And long before that, C was
/the/ language because it was the only one that would allow you to
actually program systems properly.
I happen to know that Google does most of its admin scripting in
Python. It can't be a small job, running a few hundred thousand
servers worldwide and keeping them all up to date for system and
security.
