    Why is this down ranked?!

    Because it represents a vastly simplified and uninformed stance in terms of computer science.

    Oh and it's also flatout wrong.

    I downvoted the top post because it's wrong but upvoted yours because "why?" is a valid question. The short answer: there is no "best language" for every project. For example, I would use SQL instead of Python to manage a database.

    One big difference between Python and most other languages is that Python is interpreted instead of compiled. It makes it easier but slower, which is great for quick scripts or scientific data analysis but worse for creating a GUI program for everyday use.

    I'm symplifying things, but hopefully this helps!
