What makes python a python🐍?

Python, python and python 🐍.

What makes python so powerful?

Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language. High-level because of the amount of abstraction, it is very abstract and uses natural language elements, which are easier to use and understand. It makes the whole process simpler and more automated than lower-level languages.

An interpreted language is a type of programming language for which most of its implementations execute instructions directly, without previously compiling a program into machine-language instructions.

A general-purpose programming language is designed to be used for writing software in the widest variety of application domains. A general-purpose programming language has this status because it does not include language constructs designed to be used within a specific application domain.

But this python is slow

Python is not the fastest programming language💔 when it comes to speed and performance comparing it to other programming languages.
Unless you have a really big ecosystem and network for your operation, the user won’t really care for the speed of execution.
Here is a comparison of programming languages including Python:

In this day and age, it is much easier to scale⚖ the system and upgrade on that front rather than using something that can not do the job efficiently. Of course, Python can not cover every single field of programming and you should not strictly use Python, but for the time being this is the best option that we have.

Python has a really big family 👪👩‍👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👩‍👧‍👧👨‍👩‍👦‍👦

Python communities are everywhere on the internet from stack overflow to Instagram. If you get stuck somewhere anywhere you will have an answer for your problem. With new updates and bug improvements python community has been growing rapidly. As more and more people join the crowd it becomes easier for a newbie to get the answers right on time.

What makes python one of the most demanding🤓 language of 2021?

Python is one of the most demanding language of 2021 because of its vast application in the Tech Industry. Python has a really vast application from running a small hello world program to a complex neural network everything can be achieved with the help of python.
