To start out, you learn C, the foundational language needed to build a robust programming skillset, and then you’ll be able to jump into other essential languages like Java, Python, and C++.

For Python versus other languages, the place where it really gets interesting is that the unit time per solution is lower than it is with languages like Java, C++ or C. Yeah, it’s interpreted (ish).

The C language has been a programming staple for decades. Here’s how it stacks up against C++, Java, C#, Go, Rust, Python, and the newest kid on the block—Carbon.

Python's ascent continues among software developers, bolstered by its usability compared with Java and C. Written by Liam Tung, Contributing Writer June 10, 2019 at 5:03 a.m. PT ...

Java searches were down 3.93% over the period, while Python gained 1.86%. The top 10 languages behind C, Java and Python are C++, C#, Visual Basic, Javascript, PHP, Assembly Language, and SQL.

Python has surpassed Java as the top language used to introduce U.S. students to programming and computer science, according to a recent survey posted by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).

A study conducted by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) put Python at the top of the list of favorite languages among such contenders as Java, JavaScript, C++, and Go.
