      ab: The article looks at the selection of computer programming languages used in introductory college computer science courses, focusing on the open-source programming language Python. It notes that Python has come to be widely used in such courses in the U.S. and discusses its advantages for students first learning to code compared to other programming languages such as C++ and Java. Comments are presented from computer science professors Shriram Krishnanmurthi of Brown University, Philip Guo of the University of Rochester, and Mark Guzdial of the Georgia Institute of Technology. Topics include characteristics of Python's syntax and how it handles data structures.
