This argumentative essay deals with the statement that Python will continue to be in the top four programming languages of the TIOBE ranking for the next five years. The Python programming language is one of the most popular in the world. This text analyses the evolution and power of Python, as well as its competition. It also places Python in the context of IT trends such as artificial intelligence, big data and metaverse. The text concludes with an outlook.
Hardly any programming language has shown such a meteoric rise since the language was introduced as Python. The growth in the language's popularity is particularly visible in the line graph from TIOBE, which represents the Programming Community Index. The popularity of ten programming languages over a period of 20 years is shown. A list of all relevant coding languages is ranked in percent to determine their market share.
