In my opinion, one of Python's greatest strengths is how easy it is to read, even for complete beginners. It is definitely the language I would recommend to new developers who want to start their programming journey.

On top of that, like @techwithdavid mentioned, it is a hugely versatile and popular language. There are going to be jobs in Python for a long time into the future, I think.
