Why Python is Popular Programming Language for Automation?
It’s rare to see tutorials teaching how to automate something using other programming languages than Python. Have you ever wondered why is that so? In fact, Kotlin is a fun language too. Why not automate with it. In this article, I’ll go through three main points which make Python usable for automation compared to other programming languages.
Easy to learn and use
Before learning Python, I have done automation in Java, and I can tell you that it’s not fun. You’ve to set up a project, write more lines of code, etc.
Python is easy to learn, which makes it the number one reason to use it for automation. Whether you’re a beginner or have done programming in other languages, you can grasp Python super fast since it has a really simple syntax.
