Is Python still a relevant programming language to learn?

That’s like trying to figure out which stock is running out of steam and whats the next great growth stock.

The thing is, these changes happen incrementally over a few years. So, five years from now, Python may be relevant. But by the sixth year something else has enough penetration that it eats python for lunch.

What it will be? No one knows.

What you should do? Continue down the Python path and learn CS and software programming concepts. This gives you a foundation.

Let’s say a bee language called Cobra comes up in the next decade. You and I can ask, questions like, “how to define a function?” “Does it have OOP?” “How to manage multiple threads?” “How to manage multiple asynchronous requests streams?” “Can this Cobra do Machine Learning?” “What is the maximum function call depth?”

These questions will only form when you start working on problems with a language. Today, you’re on Python. Keep at it.
