In this article we'll see about the most popular and commonly used programming language, Python. So, let's begin and learn about the development of Python and gain insights about the current IT trends.
Introduction of Python
Python is very famous for its simple programming syntax. code readability and English-like commands that make coding and English-like commands that make coding a lot easier and efficient. Due to this, it is the most popular and preferred language. Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language developed by Guido van Rossum at National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science, Netherlands.
In contrast to popular belief that Python was named after the snake, Python was actually named after the show "Monty Python's flying circus". Guido van Rossum formulated Python in the late 1980's as a successor to the ABC language.
