Python may be the best one you could choose. David Robinson, who is a data scientist at Stack Overflow, claims <a href=\"https:\/\/www.developer-tech.com\/news\/2017\/sep\/11\/stack-overflow-analysis-assesses-incredible-growth-python\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Python could be the fastest-growing<\/a> major programming language around.<\/p>\n<p>Python became the most visited tag on Stack Overflow just this past June. The US and UK lead the charge as it holds the top spot in both countries. It\u2019s top two behind Java or JavaScript just about everywhere else.<\/p>\n<p>At this rate, Robinson predicts that Python will be the most visited tag in 2018. R, Go, Rust and TypeScript are also accelerating but at a much smaller rate than Python. Robinson doesn\u2019t think that more means better. Looking at these numbers simply helps us all understand the developer ecosystem and how it could be changing.<\/p>\n<p>At theCoderSchool, Python is one of our go-to languages when it comes to transitioning kids away from Scratch.\u00a0 Using cool online platforms like <a href=\"http:\/\/trinket.io\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trinket<\/a>\u00a0or <a href=\"http:\/\/pixelpad.io\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PixelPad<\/a> and local libraries like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pygame.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pygame<\/a>, we&#8217;ve got our own unique way of helping get engaged into a typed world from a drag n drop world.\u00a0 After all, drag-n-drop is awesome, but you gotta get typing at some point right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Python is still growing in popularity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[63],"class_list":["post-101","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-coder-blog","tag-coding-languages","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thecoderschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thecoderschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thecoderschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thecoderschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thecoderschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=101"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.thecoderschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12051,"href":"https:\/\/www.thecoderschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101\/revisions\/12051"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thecoderschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=101"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thecoderschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=101"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thecoderschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
