Many in this forum recommend Python over other languages due to its ease in comparison to other languages such as C++. Why is that?

The syntax is very versatile and it's very easy to accomplish tasks that would take a lot of lines in other languages using the built in features of Python

Lots of libraries to do different things. Though it's not good for everything - anything where speed is critical is better written in another language.

Python is a very versatile language as others have stated. It’s a great tool to use for automation as well as data science.

The language feels like it’s coding with clutches compared to other languages, in my opinion, because of how it simplifies your code. For example, you may write a script in a few lines in python to do the same thing as a script that takes many lines of code in another language.

There is so much resources online for free

The syntax is easier to learn, loooots of libraries/packages available for almost anything you can think of, no cryptic error messages.

python is a much more flexible language -- its structure is much less rigid and easier to "Read as english". In exchange for this, it gives up the fine-grained memory control that C++ has. It's sort of like driving automatic vs manual
