You're taking a new programming class this fall, and you don't know anything about code. Python is taught widely in schools, and it's one of the most loved programming languages because it's simple.

The new interpreter will run Python programs as much as 5% faster, with no changes to existing code required. A beta of Python 3.14 is due in May.

The interpreter lacks specialized hardware-specific features such as sound and graphics, of course, but then again, you could add them.
