Python might not have bright years in the past years (which is mainly launch in the year 1991) but it has seen a continuous and amazing trend of growth in the 21st century. This stack overflow graph of major programming languages’ growth exclusively depicts the steady progress of the PYTHON!

The growth rate of python was not something easy to achieve. Python programming language is better used for app development, web app or web development, game development, scientific computing, system administration, etc.

There are several traits of this programming tool which has provided it with an incredibly successful journey. Python has a main role in the new-edge technologies of current and upcoming times like ML and AI.

Looking at the shining future of these technologies which are heavily assisted by python codes, several people wonder, “Is python the future of programming?”

Some features of Python that can project the reasons why it has become so famous:

1. **Free charge — **The overall development cost decreases if the tools your python developers are using are available for free!
2. No support issue — Most of the programming languages have support issues. Also, some of them lack documentation which makes it tricky for a programmer to build his project. Python doesn’t have these issues.
3. **Cross-platform language — **Python is a remarkable language that supports different OSs. Ubuntu, Linus, Windows, etc are all completely-supported by this programming tool. This means that if your python developers will write codes on Mac, it will run flawlessly on windows.
4. **Fewer codes — **Python is those programming languages that are simple to use and write. In comparison to other general-purpose languages, it is extremely convenient to use python.

Python’s Popularity — What Stats Say?

The success of Python is reflecting in the Stack Overflow trends, which compute numerous tags in posts on the platform. Given the size of StackOverflow, this is simply a great sign for python language high popularity.

While R language has been mounting over the last some decades, and various other languages like Java, C++ is on a steady decline, Python’s popularity seems unstoppable. Nearly **14% of all StackOverflow **queries are tagged “python”, and the buzzing trend is mounting up. And there are several reasons for that.
