Too Long; Didn't Read
Python is the de facto programming language used is machine learning. This is owed to it’s simplicity and readability. People use mostly the same flagship modules (keras, scikit-learn, numpy) unlike in other languages such as Javascript which have a multitude of libraries and patterns, or like Java which has many data structures. Python is modular and uses external libraries for diverse tasks and concerns. The language has been widely used in the software space throughout the years. Python 3.x is the latest version, with all its respective new features, but Python 2.x remained widely used even today.
