Why Python? The Rise of Data Science and AI
Although the popularity of languages in the software world constantly changes, the unstoppable rise of Python in recent years draws attention. As a student with a C# and Java background, I saw the reasons for this very clearly when I entered the Python ecosystem.
1. Readability and Simplicity: Python has a syntax almost as simple as spoken English. This allows writing complex algorithms with far fewer lines of code.
2. Richness of Libraries: Massive libraries like Pandas and NumPy for data science, and TensorFlow and PyTorch for artificial intelligence distinguish Python from its competitors. It becomes possible to develop data analysis and machine learning projects without reinventing the wheel.
I believe that every software developer who wants to pursue a career in Artificial Intelligence, the technology of the future, should add Python to their toolkit, regardless of their main language.
