Python Alternatives

Python is described as 'Interpreted, interactive, object-oriented, extensible programming language. It provides an extraordinary combination of clarity and versatility, and is free and comprehensively ported' and is a leading programming language in the development category. There are more than 50 alternatives to Python for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, BSD and Web-based apps. The best Python alternative is Java. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try Java or Ruby. Other great apps like Python are R (programming language), PHP, Rust and Lua.
