Python is a programming language created by Guido van Rossum. This programming language has an implementation in C and one of the most important facts about it is that it's easy to learn for beginners and is a very versatile tool.
It can be used for almost anything and it's easy to set up and run using the large number of libraries avaliable.
Some uses for Python are in :
- Machine Learning and AI
- Research and data interpretation
- BackEnd Server
- Simulations
- Games (?)
- Bots
- Simple automatization tasks.
Based on the large number of applications and the simplicity I think Python is one of the most valuable languages to learn.
