I heard Python is very on the rise right now. Thank you for sharing, looks interesting if it won't be too hard for me. JavaScript person here.

Python in definitely one of the easier languages to learn if you have some basic programming experience. You will definitely be fine with your background.

I never learned/used Java. I only had some C and Matlab/Octave experience, I was able to pick up Python OK. I am no expert by any means but can do the basics and stuff. I mainly use it for data analysis.

I was a front-end web developer with JavaScript, working with Angular. At my job had the opportunity to start working with the Data Science team and I loved it. Now transitioned to full-time data scientist position, working in Python -- it was an easy transition.

Some things in Python are downright wonderful!

The most popular prebuilt machine learning framework, TensorFlow, has a Python API. This has helped its popularity in the area of data science where it was already big before thanks to iPython (now Jupyter)

Surely this is a mistakenly pasted link? I don't see how it is relevant
