The Pros and Cons of Python

Hello, there! Welcome to the post!
In this post, I will talk about the many pros and cons of Python!

sudo apt-get install python3.6
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If you are a Ubuntu or WSL Python dev, you should remember typing the command above. You would know about pip as well.

Now, should we start?

The Pros

The main point of Python is that it is simple and expandable.

But what does this mean? It basically means that Python can do many various stuff, without having to learn other languages for that part. For example, you could use java for Android app development, but if you are planning a smaller project, you would be better off with Python. On the other hand, while developing more advanced projects, you should go handy with java.

The Cons

In The Pros, we talked about why Python is a good language. We also went into the cons a bit, the fact that Python isn't really suitable for highly-advanced projects.

Summarizing

This short post described the basic pros and cons of Python. I will see you in my next post!
