Although Python, which was born in the late 80s and early 90s, is no longer young, it does not affect Python to become one of the most mainstream programming languages today.
For a long time, programming languages such as C, C++, C, and J**A have been at the top of the charts. However, in recent years, Python has gained more and more attention. In recent months, Python has long been ahead of languages such as J**a, C, C++, and Visual Basic in Tiobe's programming language index, taking second place on the list. For example, in the latest August 2021 Tiobe programming language rankings, Python is still ranked second below the C language and above J**A. So back to the question, why is python so popular? The article is not long, you will understand after reading the following:
What is Python?
Python (British pronunciation: pa n American pronunciation: pa ɑn) is an object-oriented interpreted computer programming language invented in 1989 by Dutch Guido van Rossum and the first public release was released in 1991.
The Python logo is a blue and yellow snake and is inspired by Monty Python's Flying Circus – a popular BBC comedy television show. Guido van Rossum himself was a big fan of the show, so he named his programming language "Python".
Python allows for a variety of programming paradigms. It can be used for both object-oriented and structured programming models. It also supports functional, aspect-oriented, logic, and other programming models. Part of the reason for this support for multiple approaches is that Python is built to be highly scalable while striving to be compact.
Python was also created for speed. This includes allowing elements to be removed when not needed to speed up the final programming result.
Python is available for a variety of platforms, including Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, and UNIX. Builds have also been created for mobile platforms, including Android and iOS.
Python has one of the most mature package libraries available, backed by Pypi (pronounced pie-pie, which you can learn about here), a library of over 85,000 Python modules and scripts that you can use right away.
Python is free to use and can be extended under an open-source license.
Python is a programming language that supports a variety of core features. The language includes standard basic data types ranging from numbers to strings, as well as items such as lists and dictionaries. Data types can be strongly typed and dynamically typed, and when you try to mix types, the language flags exceptions. As an object-oriented language, it supports classes, multiple inheritance, and more. The language includes exception handling and supports automatic memory management.
Use Python as a first step.
Like most programming languages, you need to have Python on your system before you can use it. As with J**a, you probably already have the necessary tools on your computer. To check if there is a python interpreter on your system, simply type python into the command window (win+r input cmd) and see what you get.
