Recently, Python programming language, there have been unexpected changes after some predict that it will become the world's leading programming language.
As we have seen, millions of people are using Python, and there is little indication that the exponential growth of users is gradually reduced, and the sustainability of this growth in doubt.
Recent Python language summit warned that, if not improved support for new web and mobile platforms, Python will face the "survival risk." Compared with other languages, Python currently there is a "non-developers to package applications difficult" issue. While Python has become the scientific data and the language used when first learning to program, but some have questioned whether Python limitations hinder its popularity and JavaScript problems to match. Co-founder of Redmonk analyst James Governor raised this possibility when discussing the recent Redmonk programming language rankings. The rankings will Python in third place, behind second-ranked number one Java and JavaScript. He said: "I recently noticed that some people talk, they seemed to say, we may be at its peak in Python, because even though it occupies a place in the AI / ML in, but it does not really seize other opportunities . "in other words, it could face strong resistance in the coming forward?"
Stephen O'Grady Redmonk co-founder and principal analyst, said that although Python "we will not have a problem", but "Python peak point there are still some problems, because the language lacks clear objectives and design, for example, R language, but it is unlikely to challenge the universality of JavaScript / TypeScript of. "
"This reflects a problem, that is what it's way forward is, what its position is, but I do not think Python will be affected. After all, the scope of its application is very wide."
Python limitations in important areas such as mobile platforms are well known.
Earlier this year when it comes to mobile support Python, long-term member of the Steering Committee and the Python developer Python Barry Warsaw, he said: "Python, now there is not a great story." The iPhone and Android users to download the application and " I never know that it is written in Python. "
As the number of processor cores in modern chips rising in Intel's latest server product, the number of processor cores reached 48, Warsaw Python also hope to better disperse tasks across multiple cores. Nevertheless, Redmonk managers concluded that "Python there are a lot of work to do", Python community is addressing some of the recommendations, in order to provide a convenient way for non-developers to package Python applications, and improved support for multi-core processors.
