Editing Python (programming language) (section)

==Languages influenced by Python==
Python's design and philosophy have influenced many other programming languages:
* [[Boo (programming language)|Boo]] uses indentation, a similar syntax, and a similar object model.<ref name="AutoNT-90"/>
* [[Cobra (programming language)|Cobra]] uses indentation and a similar syntax; its ''Acknowledgements'' document lists Python first among influencing languages.<ref name="AutoNT-91"/>
* [[CoffeeScript]], a programming language that cross-compiles to JavaScript, has a Python-inspired syntax.
* [[ECMAScript]]–[[JavaScript]] borrowed iterators and [[generator (computer science)|generators]] from Python.<ref name="AutoNT-93"/>
* [[GDScript]], a Python-like scripting language that is built in to the [[Godot (game engine)|Godot]] game engine.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/about/faq.html|title=Frequently asked questions|website=Godot Engine documentation|access-date=10 May 2021|archive-date=28 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210428053339/https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/about/faq.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
* [[Go (programming language)|Go]] is designed for "speed of working in a dynamic language like Python";<ref name="AutoNT-94"/> Go shares Python's syntax for slicing arrays.
* [[Groovy (programming language)|Groovy]] was motivated by a desire to incorporate the Python design philosophy into [[Java (programming language)|Java]].<ref name="AutoNT-95"/>
* [[Julia (programming language)|Julia]] was designed to be "as usable for general programming as Python".<ref name=Julia>{{cite web |title= Why We Created Julia |date= February 2012 |website= Julia website |url= https://julialang.org/blog/2012/02/why-we-created-julia |access-date= 5 June 2014 |quote= We want something as usable for general programming as Python [...] |archive-date= 2 May 2020 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200502144010/https://julialang.org/blog/2012/02/why-we-created-julia/ |url-status= live}}</ref>

[..] we decided that the right long-term goal for Mojo is to provide a superset of Python (i.e. be compatible with existing programs) and to embrace the CPython immediately for long-tail ecosystem enablement. To a Python programmer, we expect and hope that Mojo will be immediately familiar, while also providing new tools for developing systems-level code that enable you to do things that Python falls back to C and C++ for. |archive-date=5 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230505083518/https://docs.modular.com/mojo/why-mojo.html |url-status=live}}</ref> superset of Python (e.g., omitting classes, and adding [[struct]]).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Spencer |first=Michael |title=What is Mojo Programming Language? |url=https://datasciencelearningcenter.substack.com/p/what-is-mojo-programming-language |access-date=2023-05-05 |website=datasciencelearningcenter.substack.com |date=4 May 2023 |language=en |archive-date=5 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230505090408/https://datasciencelearningcenter.substack.com/p/what-is-mojo-programming-language |url-status=live}}</ref>

* [[Ruby (programming language)|Ruby]]'s creator, [[Yukihiro Matsumoto]], said that "I wanted a scripting language that was more powerful than Perl, and more object-oriented than Python. That's why I decided to design my own language."<ref name="linuxdevcenter"/>
* [[Swift (programming language)|Swift]], a programming language developed by Apple, has some Python-inspired syntax.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://nondot.org/sabre |title=Chris Lattner's Homepage |publisher=Chris Lattner |first=Chris |last=Lattner |author-link=Chris Lattner |date=3 June 2014 |access-date=3 June 2014 |quote=I started work on the Swift Programming Language in July of 2010. I implemented much of the basic language structure, with only a few people knowing of its existence. A few other (amazing) people started contributing in earnest late in 2011, and it became a major focus for the Apple Developer Tools group in July 2013 [...] drawing ideas from Objective-C, Rust, Haskell, Ruby, Python, C#, CLU, and far too many others to list. |archive-date=22 December 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222150510/http://nondot.org/sabre/ |url-status=live}}</ref>
* [[Kotlin (programming language)|Kotlin]] blends Python and Java features, which minimizes boilerplate code and enhances developer efficiency.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jalan |first=Nishant Aanjaney |date=2022-11-10 |title=Programming in Kotlin |url=https://medium.com/codex/programming-in-kotlin-934bdb3659cf |access-date=2024-04-29 |website=CodeX |language=en}}</ref>

Python's development practices have also been emulated by other languages. For example, Python requires a document that describes the rationale and context for any language change; this document is known as a ''Python Enhancement Proposal'' or PEP. This practice is also used by the developers of [[Tcl]],<ref name="AutoNT-99"/> [[Erlang (programming language)|Erlang]],<ref name="AutoNT-100"/> and Swift.<ref>{{cite web |title=Swift Evolution Process |date=18 February 2020 |website=Swift Programming Language Evolution repository on GitHub |url=https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/process.md |access-date=27 April 2020 |archive-date=27 April 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200427182556/https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/process.md |url-status=live}}</ref>
