In this blog article, we look at various reasons why engineers should learn Python. Continue reading to discover more.
Python is currently the most popular computer programming language. As a result, beginners, existing developers and jobseekers are spending lot of time and effort to learn this popular language.
Below are the reasons why:
#1: Highest ranked programming language (in TIOBE index)
According to the TIOBE Index for March 2022, Python is currently the most popular computer programming language.
The TIOBE Programming Community index is an indicator of the popularity of programming languages.
#2: Easy to learn, read and write
Python programs are relatively easier to read, write and understand. Thus, over the years Python has become very popular choice among the programming and computing community.
Python syntax is uncluttered, almost like plain English, hence it's simple to learn and comprehend.
Thus, whether you're a first time programmer or know other languages, picking up Python is easy!
#3: Widespread adoption across different domains
Python is very widely used across many different fields of application.
Python is used in data analysis, web & internet development, text processing, statistical analysis and scientific & numeric computing, among other things.
#4: Large Python community base
Python has a large and active community. The community hosts conferences and meetups, collaborates on code, and much more. Thus getting assistance from the community is easy.
The community also contributes to the language's advancement by creating new tools and libraries.
#5: Open-source and flexible
Python was created by Guido van Rossum in the early 1990s at Stichting Mathematisch Centrum (CWI, see https://www.cwi.nl/) in the Netherlands.
All Python releases are Open Source. Python is developed under an OSI-approved open source license, making it freely usable and distributable, even for commercial use.
