Trust and the success of Python by Jacob Hallen | PyConSe | 2025

Why has Python become the most used programming language in the world? Is it the syntax, with indentation as block markers? Is it the lists and the dicts and the comprehensions? Is it some specific packages like Numpy or Django? It certainly isn't the execution speed, though that is improving a bit. While some popularity comes from the factors above, my take is that trust plays a major role in the rise of Python. I will explain what I mean in the talk. #pyconse #pyconse2025 #stockholm
