Brief Comparison of Python and Other Programming Languages By Jenna Erickson, ​Codal Inc ___________________________________________________________________________

More often than not, Python gets compared to other languages such as Perl, Javascript or C++. In this article, as a ​Chicago mobile app development agency,​ we will very briefly cover some comparisons between Python, and these other languages. Realistically, the choice of a programming language is often in the hands of your ​application development agency​. However, things like cost, training, timeline, can all be factors in choosing a ​software engineering​ language. Javascript | Python Python has an “object-based” subset that is very similar to JavaScript. Both of them support a style that uses very simplistic functions without including in class definitions. Anyone that offers ​Python development services​ would probably agree that Python supports much larger programs and applications. Perl | Python Both Perl and Python come from a similar background, Unix scripting. They also support a decent amount of similar features, but still have a dissimilar philosophy. Perl highlights the support for typical app-oriented tasks, like file scanning and reporting. Whereas Python highlights support for ordinary coding methods, like data structure design; overall the methodologies involved with Python encourages developers to write clean and maintainable code.


Again, anyone that works for a ​Python development company​ would argue that Python and Perl come pretty close to each other, but Python goes way beyond Perl’s niche. C++ | Python Often times, Python code is typically 5-10 times shorter than C++ code. It has been stated that only Python developer, or ​Python development company can finish a project in two months, which is what two C++ engineers could not even complete in one year. Therefor, Python completely shines over the C++ programming language.
