Go vs Python Comparison
0 likes295 views
This document compares Golang and Python programming languages. It discusses what each language is, their key differences and paradigms. It also outlines the performance, scalability, applications, execution methods, libraries, readability, memory management and disadvantages of each language. Golang was designed by Google and is a statically-typed compiled language while Python is a dynamically-typed interpreted language. The document provides examples of benchmarks showing Golang generally has better performance than Python while Python has more libraries and is easier to read.
Go vs Python Comparison
- 2. What’s in it for you? What is Python? Key Differences between Golang and Python Disadvantages of Golang Disadvantages of Python What is Golang?
- 3. What is Golang? It was designed by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike and Ken Thompson Golang is a statically-typed compiled language developed by Google You can run your first code without any setup on the playground provided at golang.org
- 4. What is Python? Python is high level object-oriented programming language Python was developed by Guido van Rossum in 1989 and was released in 1991 The name Python was taken from the popular BBC comedy show of that time, "Monty Python's Flying Circus"
- 5. Paradigms Go is Procedural, functional and concurrent language Python is object-oriented, imperative, functional, and procedural language Paradigms
- 6. Performance Seconds 5.47 Memory 31,104 N-body Mandelbrot Binary-Tree Seconds 27.09 Memory 502,160 Seconds 21.25 Memory 1,588 Performance Seconds 284.36 Memory 52,412 N-body Mandelbrot Binary-Tree Seconds 81.03 Memory 451,324 Seconds 774.34 Memory 7,844
- 7. Scalability Concurrency means that an application runs more than one task simultaneously, but only one upfront and rest in the background Parallelism means that an application runs its tasks in parallel, that is on multiple CPUs simultaneously Scalability
- 8. Applications Applications Used in Micro-controller programming, Robotics, and Games Artificial Intelligence and Data Science Cloud-based or Server-Side Applications Desktop Applications Web Applications Data Science
- 9. Execution In a statically typed language, variable types are declared explicitly for the compiler so that even trivial bugs are caught easily In a dynamically typed language, the interpreter implements type inference; hence, some bugs may remain because the interpreter interprets something incorrectly Execution
- 11. Readability Python has fantastic readability. But it has different ways to do the same thing in Python, which mostly leads to confusion Go has a definite way to perform a task, leading to a better understanding of code while working in a team Readability
- 12. Memory Management Provides Memory Management No Memory Management Memory Management
- 13. Disadvantages of Golang Not a generic language Fewer Libraries and frameworks Still in the Development stage
- 14. Disadvantages of Python Primitive database access layer Absence of commercial support Shows more errors at run-time Weak in Mobile computing
