Why python?

by Nero

In almost every build your own SAAS tutorial or video I see python being used for the back end (I haven't used it before) i just want to understand what advantage does python provide

    Advantages:

    • High level, dynamic language: fast prototyping, fast MVP.
    • Vast amount of libraries for most things you need.
    • Mature web frameworks like Django and Flask.
    • Probably the best language for machine learning and data science.

    All that said I personally prefer Ruby on Rails for the backend (or both ends).

    I think a big part of backend web dev with python is centered around the frameworks django and flask. I don't know much about django, but I know that flask is used by many top companies to build highly available rest apis. These apis are used to build their apps using a microservices architecture.

    It's going to be the most popular programming language. Watch here:
