Python dominates the IT world, especially in automation and many other areas. If you ever need a quick boost to your resume and job profile, try to master it. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done. Python is in demand for everything from writing web apps to IT infrastructure and more. The best part? It is easy to learn. It is the new basic.

I think python's reputation for being "easy" sometimes makes people think it can't also be powerful or precise. But, it's also capable in these areas as well.

It's not the best at some tasks (such as processing text) but even the things about it that are contrived have been made contrived for good reasons and with care.

@futurebird @nixCraft you make a very good point here. Some people tend to discount it as 'simple, thus not performant' however speaking about processing text for example, a library like SpaCy made me realize how powerful Python can be at that too
