- blowski 3y agoIn my case at least, it's because Python has a strong ecosystem. Everybody's heard of it - parents, kids, and teachers. There are lots of good kid-friendly education materials. Of course, that begs the question "how did that ecosystem develop in the first place?", but I can't answer that.
- qwertox 3y agoIt's so easy to get started and it goes a long way. From "input your name" over servers to machine learning. It's a very clean language.
- cdt5050 3y agoIt doesn't require a person to change how they think about programming from their college C or Java classes, but is a lot simpler than those two languages.
