Let us first of all look at the past and the present of Python Programming
Don’t get confused with the python snake its all about the python programming language which has been created by the famous Dutchman Guido van Rossum, known as “Uncle Turtle“, during the time of Christmas in the year 1989 to pass the boring Christmas.
Uncle turtle has designed a Teaching Language called ABC Language. I don’t know about others but From Uncle Turtle’s point of view, The Teaching language ABC is a very beautiful and powerful language, and it is specially designed for non-professional programmers, he designed it for a specific purpose of teaching only.
Most of you don’t know about ABC Language, so there’s no chance for this language to get success. Uncle Turtle also wants to understand the reason for its failure. According to me, Non-openness is the biggest reason for the failure of ABC Language.
After painful remorse, he was so bored that he couldn’t live with himself. Uncle Turtle was in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. In order to pass the boring Christmas, he was determined to develop a new script interpreter as an inheritance of the ABC language. So, Python was born, Uncle Turtle was determined to avoid some mistakes in Python, and at the same time, to realize some things that flashed in ABC but never came true (the so-called remedy, it’s not too late, Christmas is not over, but also to make up for it) The lack of ABC is not so much boring, but too much thinking. (Christmas is as important to the West as our Spring Festival).
So why is Python related to python? In fact, the English meaning of Python is python.
As for why the new language is named after this name, it is mainly because Uncle Turtle likes a comedy too much, and the name is taken from the TV comedy “Monty Python’s Flying Circus”, which was the first broadcast in the UK in the 1970s. ).
In this way, Python was born in the hands of Uncle Turtle.
Now, let us talk about the design and philosophy of Python
Python’s design philosophy is “elegance”, “clear”, “simple”. Python aims to “do one thing in one way, preferably only one way”. This is similar to the characteristics of boa constrictors: boa constrictors often crawl close to their prey when they hunt, a quick bite and wrap their bodies around to death, flatten them into long strips, and then secrete saliva to lubricate and swallow the food. (Elegant action, clear goal, simple method, great effect)
And Finally, let’s talk about programming languages
At present, there are more than 700 programming languages available in the world, but there are only 24 programming languages that have gained popularity in which python stands at the top place. If you understand TIOBE which stands for ” The Importance of Being Earnest”, you can check out the ranking changes of all programming languages from the graph given below or you can directly check it out from TIOBE, now let’s take a look at the changes in the past ten years.
