Arguments in Favor of Python for Web Scraping
December 17, 2024 - Reading time: 3 minutes
Because of its portability, large community, and ease of use and learning, Python is one of the most widely used programming languages worldwide. All contemporary data-related domains, such as web scraping projects, machine learning, and data analysis, are dominated by this language. Python makes it much simpler to write a Hello World program than most other programming languages, particularly those that resemble C.
Nevertheless, there are difficulties with web scraping. There are many different types of websites, styles, and technologies available. Each website is constructed in a unique way. The majority of websites are usually unique, but users will come across generic structures that may be repeated. These websites are also constantly changing. This implies that while a Python script may function properly at one point, it may encounter an error and be unable to retrieve data at a later time.
Recent Java enhancements for numeric calculations

In the past, slow evaluation of mathematical functions and large memory footprint were the most significant drawbacks of Java compared to C++/C for numeric computations and scientific data analysis. However, recent enhancements in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) enabled faster and better numerical computing due to several enhancements in evaluating trigonometric functions.
