Comparison of programming languages

Java, R Language, JavaScript, Scala, and Anaconda are the most popular alternatives and competitors to Python.

Java and Python have many similarities . Both languages have strong cross-platform support and extensive standard libraries. They both treat (nearly) everything as objects. Both languages compile to bytecode, but Python is (usually) compiled at runtime.

Python is a more robust programming language compared to C as it has strong memory management schemes. The C programming language is mostly used for the development of hardware applications. The number of built-in functions in C are very limited. There are a lot of built-in functions in Python.
