Python-32 years old

DO YOU KNOW ???

Python Language is 32 years old

On February 20, 1991, Dutch programmer Guido van Rossum released the first version of a project he had been tinkering with since Christmas break two years prior: A brand new scripting language, called Python.

Back then, there was no telling how popular Python would become and the impact the language would have on the world of coding. Even van Rossum, who went on to work at Google, Dropbox, and Microsoft, didn’t see the hype coming. “When I originally started Python, I didn’t expect there would be great success and fame in my future,” van Rossum said on an episode of the Lex Fridman Podcast. 

In the 32 years since Python launched, the language has become a go-to for millions of developers, from beginners taking their first foray into coding to experienced engineers who use Python for machine learning and AI. In fact, Python is the most popular programming language in our course catalog.

 If you’ve never coded in Python before, we have tons of interactive, beginner-friendly Python courses, like Learn Python 3 and Getting Started with Python for Data Science, that’ll introduce you to this powerful and versatile language. And if you’re a proud Pythonista, there are lots of advanced courses and paths that will help you level up your Python skills, like Apply Natural Language Processing with Python and Build a Machine Learning Model with Python.
