Why learn Python?

Programmers love Python because of how fast and easy it is to use. Python cuts development time in half with its simple to read syntax and easy compilation feature. Debugging your programs is a breeze in Python with its built in debugger. Using Python makes Programmers more productive and their programs ultimately better. Python continues to be a favorite option for data scientists who use it for building and using Machine learning applications and other scientific computations.
Python runs on Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac OS and has been ported to Java and .NET virtual machines. Python is free to use, even for the commercial products, because of its OSI-approved open source license.
Python has evolved as the most preferred Language for Data Analytics and the increasing search trends on python also indicates that Python is the next "Big Thing" and a must for Professionals in the Data Analytics domain.

I learned a bit of Python and I'm learning GO now. From what I can tell, Python serves well as a glue/data science/machine learning/AI/networking/web development language definitely thanks to its fantastic collection of functions and libraries. While I see GO as superior for full scale/web server/cloud computing/web development/systems applications. While there is overlap, GO was created from a combination of Python/C++/Java to carry features of each. Having the simplicity and versatility of Python, with the power and speed of C++/Java. Python will be stronger in its niche applications, but GO will be better overall if it can serve as a replacement to Java in the future since it can handle the critical parts of systems as well.

Python is a great language for beginners, which doesn't mean that it's not also great for experts. As a CS student and developer, Python is my go-to language for most of my projects, simply because its workflow is unmatched. Of course, if raw speed is what counts to you, then alternatives like C or Go will be better choices. But to people saying Python is slow, let me tell you it will take you a LONG time until you really hit its limits (if you know proper optimization, that is). If you come from Java like me, then Python will seem lightning fast to you.

I am looking into Golang and will surely make it my primary one if something like Django comes to Go.
Trust me, Django is one of the very few things pulling me into Python.
Django Admin and ORM beats every web framework for me.

[lexsoft]

Go vs Rust. Go maybe rust proof, but Rust won't go. :)
If I have time, I will probably give priority on Rust to learn. Currently I am learning Python + Django.

[kevin_delaney]

I had no idea Go was THAT much faster than Python, I had heard it was faster than Python....but....DAMN definitely learning Go now.

[decreer]

I see Python great for quick projects and AI, while Go is for longer applications that have networks.

[curlyivashka]

readability is hard to express objectively, so I wouldn't argue on this point, however, having some experience with both, I would prefer golang for anything bigger than print(...). The biggest factor as for now I would say is libs and dependencies, where Python obviously excels due to it's 15+ years of advantage. To Go's credit though, the number of libraries quickly catches up.

[iainuk]

Superb video, personally I would recommend anyone new to programming to spend a few months learning python then move on to Golang. Both languages will serve you very well.

[mdramishhasan]

The best thing that I like in edureka channel is that it reply to every comment in best way. Thanks edureka.

[Oswee]

As newbie Gopher and newbie coder i can tell that Go is a perfect language for beginners to learn!

[rudrashiva]

I don't know about Golang but Python is my favourite. I don't have to memorize their syntax, python is like talking to some one face to face. I can write complex problems easily in Python ( this is from a person, who had no idea of programming language) and in case of speed for what we will be use our 5GHz processor. And if you really want to have speed then use Cython.

[BionicCyborg]

I like Python it is nice the libraries are great! That said I am just beginning to look at Go and I am older but GO looks like an adult programming language. I know that is stupid but I learn C and C++ in school. I learned a lot of languages over time and Go looks like C /with Python influence with an eye towards modern hardware . Read power and speed and a familiarity with concepts even has pointers. Seems nice to me!

[polypus]

The right answer is of course, both. They are both extremely useful with large user bases, lots of great docs, and are good for different things.

[markwiygul]

I'm no expert, but most computers don't need to conserve memory usage to run programs, except for video games. If python runs on a Raspberry Pi, it will certainly run on a laptop or desktop. And, for most programs (except video games) there isn't a big notice of speed difference between Python or another language, rather it is just an academic study. That being said, the results you posted are impressive. I enjoyed the video, and I think I'd like to learn Golang... or maybe C. What is it's speed vs C, C++ and Java?

[stealthseeker]

If Python performance or speed is change. I'd rather go to Python in my OPINION.

[sabriboughanmi]

i learned both XD this year.
But i can tell you that if you care abour performance Go is much better.

[Pumazr]

Its a great video to understand the differences and benefits of both languages.

[prashanthb]

PYTHON + NUMBA will go very close to C++ speeds.

[faraazmohammed]

python can be made faster using cython and pypython.
