My Question:

Why should I learn Python? Are there any advantages to learning Python over other languages?

My Answer:

Python is a great language to learn, whether it’s your first time programming or not, for several reasons:

• Python reads like plain English! This is something I can especially appreciate with a side-by-side. Take a look and, without worrying about what these code bits actually do, think about which is harder to read:

With Java look at how the code must be written.

// Java
public class HelloWorld {  
  public static void main(String[] args) {  
    System.out.println("Hello, World!");  
  }  
}

# Python
print “Hello, World!”

• It’s one of the most popular programming languages with a massive community. This means help is readily available when you’re stuck!
• It’s used in many fields and industries, like Web development, machine learning and AI, and data science, just to name a few. So once you learn the fundamentals, you can grow into the role of your choice!
• So many Steem apps run off of python.

I already run a couple of bots python and javascript, but I want to jump in and be able to use the Steem API to try to create some apps of my own.
