Firstly, we analyze Python as a coding language of the future and then try to conclude if its popularity will rise or fall in the next decade.
Understanding Python as a language
Python is very special and flexible because they lie between the scripting language and programming language. It is very flexible because it is used in multiple domains of tech and that is why it is also called general-purpose programming language.
Advantages of Python: Why it’s a Popular Choice
-
- Easy to learn and use
-
- Interpreted language (syntax like English)
-
- Free and open source
-
- Wide range of libraries and framework
-
- Many beginners who are non-tech but now they learn programming they like to prefer Python as their first language.
For example the simple hello world code:-
The next advantage of Python in the field of web development is, that frameworks like Django and Flask exist in Python which is very good for the development process and that is the reason in many companies, python is used as a primary medium of development.
Python’s Role in the Machine Learning Community
The most important advantage of Python is machine learning community, if you do
-
- Machine learning
-
- Learn Artificial Intelligence
-
- Work with large language Models
-
- In the field of Deep learning, it is very difficult to ignore Python because the majority of machine learning is done with Python. Python has a library like NumPy, and that is why his community is stronger with time.
In short, we learn Python in the majority of cases, if we are going to the field like:-
-
- Machine learning
-
- Artificial Intelligence
-
- Data Science
-
- Data Analyst
The next advantage is in Python their a lot of scripts written in Python and we can use them for Task Automation.
One thing that we think that Python is not advantageous for is Data Structure and Algorithm. Because that is purely a lack of good resources in DSA in the Python case.
Python Also Come With A Lot Of Disadvantages
One major disadvantage is Python is not well suited for mobile development, in tech majority work in development and there is a big sector of mobile development. Even libraries like Kivy exist in Python. But Python has less popularity in mobile development.
Disadvantages of Python: Performance and Limitations
Python comes with a lot of performance limitations. That’s why Python is slow language. Now the question arises in your mind if Python is a slow language why python is used in Machine learning? This question answers that actual libraries of machine learning are written in faster languages like C, and C++, so Python acts like an interface because Python is easier to use. We can understand in this way that the actual method used in Machine learning is written in the C library and outside of it we have a Python shell that is used by the developers.
The performance of our model doesn’t depend on Python code it depends on the internal language like C. But Python is very popular until this reason exists. In Machine learning not only the developers are worked there are many mathematicians, researchers, and scientists work in this field. They also used Python as a wrapper for their model.
The conclusion is that, yes all machine learning is not only done with Python. But the fact is Python is a major used language when you talking about Machine learning.
The Future of Python: Popularity and Trends
The developer survey of 2023 tells us that most people are new to programming. The first choice to learn programming is Python.
Firstly, we recognize there are a lot of disadvantages. Many languages perform better in some parameters. Based on this python is the only language used in different fields in the future. It is not right and it is an impossible scenario and we can’t see yet.
Because if we take the example of the development world. JavaScript is the most dominating technology when we talk about development. It has different framework and different libraries exit for frontend and backend. That is why JavaScript is the most preferred choice when we talk about development.
Conclusion: Python’s Role in the Future of Coding
But just because Python is a versatile language and very flexible language and is used in multiple domains of tech and in a very considerable percentage that’s why I can’t think personally that his popularity will be less in the next decade. One thing that I assume that increases the popularity of Python is AI. Recently there have been many AI startups open to creating new AI technology due to the increase in the use of Python language because it has a very strong machine learning community.
