Programmers work with various software development projects that use different programming languages. Programmers who work with large-scale enterprise systems often work with languages like Java, C#, and JavaScript. Nowadays, modern software development teams tend to use simple but efficient languages like Go for developing enterprise-level app services.

Python was initially started as a successor for the ABC programming language. According to the LaTeX-based early Python documentation (1991), the goal of Python was to offer a better programming language for scripting by filling the gap between C and traditional Shell scripting languages. The issue is that you can’t access C-based operating system APIs natively in Bash. On the other hand, writing Shell scripts in C is indeed more time-consuming than Bash.

Python became one of the most popular languages because of the simple syntax, full-featured standard library, rich open-source library ecosystem, and advanced frameworks. New features like type hints and impressive open-source libraries/frameworks make Python suitable for enterprise apps.

Learning Python brings you remarkable benefits similar to C/C++, JavaScript, and Go. Let’s discuss why Python is so important for everyone.
