White space is how Python keeps everything in order.

Dot notation, function parameters, much of the code you write will look the same. You’ll be able to write a basic piece of software in just a few days.

A lot less time than it did for the first language.

Every question you will ask has almost certainly been answered on StackOverflow already.

I probably wouldn’t but the option is there.

I can write Python for desktop, web, or even mobile.

There are a ton of stable frameworks available.

There are tools that are available in Python that might never be available in Swift.

If I write them in Python I can reach virtually everyone. If I write them in Swift, I can only reach 4% of users. These are programs I’m primarily building for myself but there are plenty of other people who could benefit from them.

The next software I wanted to write was desktop software. As much as I like the Apple ecosystem, I can only reach 50% of mobile users and less than 4% of desktop users by writing Swift code. That being the case, the issues with only knowing Swift were also becoming glaringly apparent. Once I became engrained with thinking in code, all the possibilities of what I can do with the skill became glaringly apparent.
