Objective
Python is not a strongly typed language like Java or C++. However as a language that evolved taking good amount of time and the easiness to manage it, Python definitely is a language of choice for many, especially in the field of machine learning. The vast availability of libraries for algorithms and visualization. Following are some of reasons why I like Python, though it’s not my favourite:
- Ease of Use. Python is one of the easiest languages to learn because the syntax is simple.
- Documentation. Python has excellent and extensive documentation. It’s also very well covered on StackOverflow, YouTube, etc.
- Libraries. Python has awesome libraries for web development, machine learning, big data analytics, data visualization, statistics, scientific computing, and so on. So it is very popular in many domains.
- Supports multiple programming paradigms — functional, object oriented, scripting, etc. It’s a handy language for very short scripts as well as full web apps.
