At age 30, the Python programming language has never been used by more developers across more use cases than it is today.

Python creator Guido van Rossum reveals the strengths and weaknesses of one of the world's most popular programming languages.

In 2019, Python also ranked first in the 'Popular Programming Languages 2019 ' published by the academic journal IEEE Spectrum.

Marking a first, Python has displaced Java to take the number two ranking in the November 2020 edition of the Tiobe Index of programming language popularity. C held on to the top spot.

For the second year in a row, the Tiobe index identified Python as the programming language whose popularity increased the most.

Python thus possesses versatile capabilities of withering today's storms while also preparing for tomorrow: this is what makes it the programming language of the future.
