Hey folks. I’ve been spending some time playing around with Python with a focus on network programmability, automation and SDN.

But the one thing I can’t understand is why Python?

I have experience with NodeJS and Ruby. But everywhere you look, Python is predominantly used for network automation and SDN.

Why not NodeJS or Ruby or any other programming language for that matter? Is it just preference or am I missing something?
