Here are some reasons we think Python is a future-proof choice for developers:
Easy to read and write - Python reads like plain English. Due to its simple syntax, it's a great choice for implementing advanced concepts like AI. This is arguably Python's best feature.
Free - Python, like many languages nowadays, is developed under an open-source license. It's free to install, use, and distribute.
Portable - Python written for one platform will work on any other platform.
Interpreted - Code can be executed as soon as it's written. Because it doesn't need to take a long time to compile like Java, C++, or Rust, releasing code to production is typically faster.
Why Not Python?
Python might not be the best choice for a project if:
The code needs to run fast. Python code executes very slowly, which is why performance critical applications like PC games aren't written in Python.
The codebase will become large and complex. Due to its dynamic type system, Python code can be harder to keep clean of bugs.
The application needs to be distributed directly to non-technical users. They would have to install Python in order to run your code, which would be a huge inconvenience.
