This year, to continue supporting the quickly growing Python community, we increased our sponsorship of the Python Software Foundation to the top new visionary level. VS Code – The Perfect Habitat for Python DevelopersĪt Microsoft’s Developer Division, our mission is to enable every developer to achieve more. Python’s growth and coverage in multiple coding use-cases has continued to skyrocket and has no indications of slowing down any time soon. Powerful frameworks for building apps such as Flask and Django that are lightning-fast, scalable, and flexible make it one of the most compelling options for web development. With hundreds of packages including Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib and Scikit Learn that provide functionality for tabular data manipulation, numerical computing, data visualizations and machine learning algorithms for predictive data analysis respectively, the Python language has become the go-to for data science work. This is no surprise after having grown 15.4% in the last 5 years. According to the PYPL (PopularitY of Programming Language index), which is generated by analyzing the frequency of coding tutorial searches on Google, Python is now the most popular language in the world. By 2003, it consistently ranked among the most popular programming languages in the world. The Python Programming language was created during the late 1980’s by Guido Van Rossum.
