Is it worth learning python?

Question

Hello!

I know c++ quite well and I'm thinking about learning python. Is it a good idea? What is the pros of python over languages like c++?

Answer 1

Little code for powerful capabilities. I think learning a scripting language is a really smart thing to do for someone who already know a compiled one. For algorithms for example, you can test your models with Python, tinker and manipulate it until it's perfect for you.

And then write it straight in C++ for optimized performance :)

Answer 2

definitely, it is always good to have options, for one thing c++ might be good, but sometimes python is just much more elegant
