Popularity of python programming language

He wondered why people didn’t care for the environment and were dirtying the exquisite hill station. That day he decided to do something for the environment. With this promise, he left Ooty and came back to Delhi. After a few months of research, Daniel decided to create a software and a website for managing different kinds of wastes coming from various cities of India and recycling non-biodegradable waste to effectively deploy them in various applications. But the question was, how will he create this website? And how will he develop software which constantly tracked waste generated in the country and also track the recycled/ reused waste?

"Python?", Daniel said bizarrely. Just like you and me, he thought Vinod was talking about the snake python and wondered how a snake could help him develop a website. But the python that Vinod was talking about, is the most popular programming language of 2020. This versatile programming language has managed to top the list of programming languages due to its widespread applications and reliability. Let us see why and how python became the choice of programmers and developers in the last few years, its applications and conclusion. We will also see if Daniel succeeded in his endeavor. WHAT IS PYTHON

The best part is that python is a versatile language, best suited for implementing trending technologies like machine learning. Well, we will see all the applications later in this blog. WHAT IS THE REASON BEHIND PYTHON’S POPULARITY?

EASY TO LEARN & USE Python is one of the most easily accessible languages on various online platforms and tutorials. Also, simple syntax and natural language used in python, makes it incredibly easy to learn & use. It is easy to experiment and develop with python because the time required for writing and executing codes is very less. Daniel was very excited on hearing this because he could now develop his website and software very quickly once he learned this language. Also, a very supportive and resourceful python community is always there to help you with the execution of python codes and the development of projects. PYTHON LIBRARIES Just like libraries have all the information incorporated at one place from which we can quickly refer to whatever is required, programming languages have inbuilt libraries and frameworks that help you write and compile complex codes efficiently. You can select these libraries to make the development process way easier. VERSATILE & RELIABLEPython can be used in almost any kind of environment and is agreed to be much more reliable, faster and efficient as compared to other modern programming languages. From mobile applications to desktop applications, web development or hardware programming, python can be used in all kinds of applications. WORKS WELL WITH THE TRENDS Python is empowered to match well with the hottest trends in the market. Big data, cloud and machine learning are some of the most prominent trends which are excessively transforming the workflow and processes in industries. It is also used for research and development in fields like deep learning, data sciences, and artificial intelligence. In such a situation, a programming language python is the basis of new applications including analysis and organization of large data.Projects based on machine learning are extensively backed by python as a programming language. PORTABLE & EXTENSIBLE NATURE The portable nature of python helps data scientists to train their machines using this language. In addition to this, python can be easily integrated with JAVA, C++ and.NET libraries for diverse applications, because of its extensible nature. Meaning, you can easily use certain parts of python code with other programming languages say, C++. This programming language is supported by various operating systems, some of them being Microsoft, Linux or Macintosh. Do you know what this means? You can work on any system, in combination with any other programming language to produce your code! It is that flexible. Daniel especially loved this concept of hybrid implementation of python.

APPLICATIONS OF PYTHON Meanwhile, here is a list of applications of python, which will help you think of innovative projects to bring a positive change in society. Here are some of the most common applications of python:

• DATA SCIENCE

• It is because of a variety of libraries available in python, it is preferred for AI and machine learning development. Other general libraries are also available especially for AI models, which is a supportive technology for AI and machine learning applications.

• Python is the first choice for web application development and software development, where in-built python frameworks and libraries can be used to easily generate a backend logic, boosting the web application development process. A python is a go-to tool offering diverse options for web development. Out of the huge libraries, PySoy and PyGame are the two predominantly used for game development using python. You will be surprised to know that python is the foundation of some popular games like Disney’s Toontown Online, World of Tanks and Battlefield 2

• Apart from this, the simplicity, scalability, and feasibility of python as a programming language makes it suitable for many other applications like enterprise or business-level applications, web scraping applications, image processing, and graphic designing applications.

• > Quora> Shutterstock Coming back to the story, what do you think was Daniel successful in his dream of developing the website and software? Of course, yes! Dedication, resourcefulness, and practice yield 100 percent results. Daniel created software that continuously recorded and updated the amount and type of waste generated in his house. He planned to expand the application of this software to cities, states and our country gradually. His website, attracted engagement as it shared how people could reduce, reuse and recycle waste instead of throwing it around to degrade the beauty and quality of nature. He also started a campaign where people could donate all the plastic waste from their homes, which would be recycled to create meaningful items. His noble thought and Vinod’s valuable suggestion, when combined, formed a platform that had the potential to change our view about waste and generate best from the waste! You can also do it. All you need is the knowledge and skills of a programming language as flexible as python. This is not the end. There could be another programming language that will replace python and become the most versatile. We need to understand that with time, we need to upgrade our skills and knowledge to sustain in the race of development. And using your knowledge for a noble cause, for the welfare of humanity and the environment makes it more worthwhile. CONCLUSION Simplicity and flexibility are the two main aspects that make python prolific choice for both beginners and experts. It is easy to learn, easy to implement, fast and very effective for most applications. These reasons were enough for explaining its popularity, but the easy access and resourcefulness of this language added value to the existence and application of this language.
