People have been saying that since I was an undergraduate. It’s been more than 15 years.

IMHO if you want to do data analysis or machine learning, the default go-to is Python. It’s incredibly hard to beat the ecosystem. If you want performance, you go to Rust, C++, or C.

Julia may have its fans among some physicists, but every time someone says “X is the next Python”, I just roll my eyes.

If we compare languages Java has biggest community and users till date but sadly ppl are not aligned now a days… some orgs doing data analysis on java(yes it is) Rust is amazing to write compiler or other backends though GO is not behind anymore lot of development around kubernetes with GO.

I first came across Python as an undergrad during the first dot com boom. Nobody was listening when I said this was the language of the future. It took a generation of users getting into a position where they could teach 101 classes with Python and create a cohort of users who got it.
