1⃣ I learned to program while still at school <18. I was already coding cool stuff for a long time. My main thing was an IRC bot and @eldergodselven , @loganaden_42 , @YashPaupiah were providing amazing inputs. They were a very cool audience. But I did not care about Github!
2⃣ One day @loganaden_42 told me to start using Github. I did not agree. @github was not a requirement for good codes. I also told him I found the interface overwhelming. He asked me to try nevertheless.
Finally decided to write a thread of why I invest in Python so much, and it's not because I don't know C++.
🧵⬇️
1⃣ From a language engineering point of view, Python is next-level. In terms of aesthetics, it resonates with us. Most languages hot off the pan are still thinking about machines instead of their target audience: Humans.
2⃣ The simplicity and pragmatic spirit it carries is the real secret behind its success. There are more powerful languages. But adoption comes with something good enough to pick up quickly. Python welcomes people from all walks of life.
