Python - History and Evolution
History of Python
Python is a high-level, object-oriented interpreted programming language. That is often used for web applications, software development data science, and machine learning.
Origins of Python
Python was invented by a Dutch Programmer Guido van Rossum in the late 1980s at the National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science in the Netherlands.
Guido van Rossum started to work on Python back in the late 1980s as an enhanced version of the ABC programming language. ABC was designed as a language of instruction, especially for beginners, and was meant to be simple and easy to use. However, it was very influential in the development of Python.
The name "Python" was chosen as a nod to the Monty Python comedy group showcasing van Rossum’s intention to bring an element of enjoyment into programming.
Evolution of Python
Python 1.0 was introduced in Feb 1991 with features, like exception handling, extensibility, functions, and the core data types: strings, lists, and dictionaries.
Throughout the years Python has undergone iterations with Python 2.0 introducing features such, as garbage collection and Unicode support. The release of Python 3.0 in 2008 focused on addressing core design issues and enhancing code readability.
Growth and Popularity of Python
Python is more popular because of the extensive community in its development, including the Python software foundation (PSF), which manages the open-source nature of Python. Python's popularity is also can be a reason because Python is used in various domains such as Web development data science artificial intelligence, automation, and more.
Conclusion
Python currently stands in most programming languages, used by millions of developers around the world. Python's role in the future of programming, given its continuous growth and adaptions to new technology.
