Python turned 30 years old this year. Released in 1991, it has not lost its popularity. The language is relatively easy to read and is often taught in introductory computer science courses. As a general-purpose language, it can be used for many different tasks, which contributes to its popularity. In fact, many Python users who are not programmers use it to solve various IT-related tasks. The Python website notes: “Python is a programming language that allows you to work faster and integrate your systems more effectively. Python can be easily mastered whether you’re just starting out in programming or already have experience with other languages.
