Answer 1

hi david! welcome to python! python is not a program, but a programming/scripting language. There are many other computer languages, all with their similarities and differences to python. what makes python interesting (at least to me) is that it is popular (so there is a large community that you can connect with), it is efficient in that you can do a lot with just a few lines of code and there are a lot of interesting libraries for many purposes.

Answer 2

Try Ruby
