One common arguement among programmers if not considering which Javascript Framework is better, it’s always with which language is stronger and better, whether NodeJs is better than Python, or Java is better than Kotlin, you would always see programmers passionately argueing and defending which language solves a use-case best, however with regards to modern trends in 2018 and current StackOverflow Developer Survey, here are 7 reasons which highlights the benefits of learning Python in 2018.

Apart from the fact that it really is a great language for beginners because of its simplicity and modularity. Python is also popular in Data Science & Machine Learning because of its power as a language in handling computations, and other powerful API’s and Library available for AI, Machine Learning and Data Science, Web Development, Mobile Applications, Cross Platform Desktop Applications and Cyber Security.

Here are 7 reasons, Why you should learn Python in 2018

1. Perfect For Beginners

Python is beginner friendly, its conciseness, expressiveness, and likeness to English contribute its choice for rookies . It is also an interpreted language, and comes bundles inbuilt with a lot of functions. I suggest you take a look on Python Syntax to see what it’s like to be a Python person.

2. Developer Community

Python is an open source language and has a large community of developers enthusiatic about its growth. A large community means the availability of a large number of libraries, modules, and packages to help you with your project.

Python opens a lot of doors for you. Python & Ruby developers earn the 2nd highest income, next to Swift. The average salary for a Python developer with about 4 years of experience is approximately #500k NGN Monthly in Nigeria. Python finds use in cybersecurity.

4. Python for Web Development

There are quite a number of open source and reliable Python Frameworks for building Web Applications. Many of these include but not limited to Django, Pylons, web2py, and Flask. Of these frameworks, Django and Flask are quite impressive.

5. Python in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Without Python,
MATLAB would rule the AI and ML world and R would rule the world of
DataScience

However, with Python it is possible to carry out complex computations using a single import statement followed by a function call. Python is also known as the language for Computer Science with its speed and flexibility.

6. MicroComputers and Embedded Systems

An example of this is the Raspberry Pi, which is one of my favorite reasons for learning Python. Rasberry Pi is a microcomputer the size of a credit card, it is capable of a lot. With it, you can explore the word of technical DIYs, it includes making robots, arcade machines, remote-controlled toys, & cameras and with Sonic Pi, and you can even make music, the possibilities are endless.
