Main Reasons Why Python is Recommended for Data Science

1. Python is easy to learn and its results are being achieved via few lines of code

2. It is cross platform meaning that the same code can work in multiple environments without needing any change.

3. It excecutes faster than other similar languages used for data analysis like R and MATLAB.

4. It has excellent memory management capability, especially garbage collection which makes it versatile in gracefully managing very large volume of data.

5. Python has a very large collection of libraries which serve as a special purpose analysis tools.

6. Python has packages which can directly use the code from other languages like Java and this helps in optimizing code performance by using existing code of other languages, whenever it gives a better results.
