Why Python is Your Best Friend for AI and ML?

Whether you're a college student, a career restarter, or just AI-curious, chances are you've already heard this a hundred times:

“Learn Python. It’s the language of AI.”

But no one really breaks down why.
Or tells you how to learn Python without burning out.

This newsletter does just that.

🤔 So… Why Python?

Before we start, If you are familiar with any object oriented langauage (OOPs) lime java,c++,ruby etc, then python is no brainer and you can swiftly start with it.

Here’s why the entire AI world runs on Python:

1. It’s Beginner-Friendly

Python is simple. It reads like English. No semicolons, no curly brackets, no confusing keywords.

python

if age > 18: print("You’re an adult.")

That’s valid Python. It just clicks for first-time coders.

2. It Has a Powerful AI & Data Ecosystem

Python has plug-and-play tools for everything:

• Pandas / NumPy – handle data like a spreadsheet wizard

• Scikit-learn – train ML models in 5 lines of code

• Matplotlib / Seaborn – create stunning charts

• TensorFlow / PyTorch – build deep learning models

• BeautifulSoup / Selenium – scrape the internet

You don’t need to build from scratch. You just import, plug, and play.

3. It’s Industry-Approved

Python is used by:

• Google, Netflix, Spotify

• Startups, research labs, freelancers

• Across industries: healthcare, finance, marketing, education, gaming, you name it.

It’s like the English of programming — everyone speaks it and what’s more even a school going kid starts learning this language as young as 8yrs. ‘cause this is taught in school nowadays and I see my kids learn these..
