Python is versatile, simple, and has been a longtime favorite - but its sluggishness, runtime issues, and mobile app development woes doom its future.

Python continues to build momentum, approaching the Top 3 in the Tiobe language popularity index after having already scaled to the top of language ratings from IEEE and PyPL.

As part of our mini-series on programming languages, Dolly Setton makes the case for Python being the best language for data journalism and our team shares their tips for getting started with it.

Tech jobs: Python programming language and AWS skills demand has exploded SQL and Java feature the most in US tech job listings, but Python is catching up fast.

While Python is IEEE's lead programming language, the spotlight is on SQL, which leads the organization's jobs rankings.

Python consolidates its place as a long-term top-three programming language. The MIT-created Julia programming language continues its ascent in developer popularity.

For the first time in the history of TIOBE's index, Java has slipped out of the top two, leaving Python to occupy the spot behind reigning champion, C.

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.

“Python has become the most popular language of choice for learning programming in school and university,” said Ben Finkel, who is a CBT Nuggets Trainer.

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.
