A tech career involves many steps. One of the first and most important is the selection of which programming language(s) a developer will specialize in. One of Swan’s team members, Ruslan, shares why he selected Python.
When I started to learn Python in 2014, I` didn’t really understand the powerful thing that was in my hands. It seemed like a simple scripting programming language, but it can be launched and used with little effort. Anyone who has had even the slightest experience working with Python will say that the readability and comprehensibility of the code written in this language are extremely high. Python code is very close to natural human language.
The real strength of Python is its community of over one million developers worldwide. At the moment, Python is the most mentioned language on one of the most popular resources for developers – StackOverflow.
Python is not always the perfect choice, but it is suitable for many tasks. It has its advantages and disadvantages, so it’s up to a developer to choose when to use it. Here are four times a programmer should choose Python.
1. Automation
OK, do you need to automate some routine work, like the generation of reports, testing, etc.? Use Python + Google, and most likely your problem has already been solved and the guide already written.
2. Web Development
In the Python ecosystem, cool frameworks for web development exist–like Django, Pyramid, Tornado, Flask, and FastAPI. Maybe, for some, those are just words, but for me, they mean opportunities to choose the best instrument for solutions to problems.
What do these frameworks provide? The minimization of development time (and time=money) and a reduced number of bugs in the code. The quality of the program code is improving, and in the future, supporting this code will be easier.
3. Data Science
As I already wrote, the main resources of a Python programmer are the additional libraries. Many Python packages have been created for the data science field. They provide for the implementation of complex algorithms so those who need these algorithms do not have to write code from scratch.
The algorithms in the DS and ML realms are quite complex. Python, thanks to its syntax and clear code structure, helps programmers create compact and powerful programs.
4. Education
In my free time, I work at a programming school. You can probably guess what programming language I teach. I have never seen a more suitable language for learning than Python. Simplicity is part of Python’s Zen. So, Python is the “father” of many future programmers! ????
Python is a great programming language. I hope my article will help you choose when to use Python.

About Ruslan
Ruslan enjoys mathematics, so it is no surprise he picked a career that would allow him to use this skill. in his free time, he enjoys listening to music, going to the gym, and playing computer games. While he likes to watch boxing, he prefers to play soccer or rugby. He hopes to advance in his career as a developer.
Right now, Ruslan and many other Ukrainian developers are living in the middle of war due to the horrific and unprovoked attack by Russia. If you’d like to help Ruslan and other developers defend their country or provide humanitarian aid, here are two ways you can donate.
