Python is a remarkable game-changing programming language and has transformed the landscape of programming to a whole different level. The meteoric rise of python has been extremely beneficial to the entire industry, but with its rising popularity, it never fails to draw in criticism.

Recently, I have been reading a few articles and watching some videos where they suggest that the glory days of python are over.

The criticism that python draws usually ranges from “It is a slow language” to “Global Interpreter Lock” to “Dynamic Typing” to “lack of mobile applications.”

Do these criticisms hold true, and do they really matter?

Will python remain relevant and immaculate for the remainder of this decade?

Today, we will analyze the facts and bust some myths!

Let’s get started!

Main Criticisms and do they matter?

1. Python is “Very Slow”:

It is undeniable that python is slow in comparison to languages like C, C++, and Java. One of the main reasons these languages are faster is because they statically typed, but python is a dynamically typed programming language.

These languages are compiled before they are run, unlike python, which is compiled during run-time.

Python also imports external libraries from other programming languages instead of native code.

Briefly, these factors are the main reason that python is slow, but the real question!
