My primary source of Python and Python related news was/is Python podcast, since 2016. In 2018, I came to know about Pycon taking place in Cleveland, OH. Dan Bader’s vlog on PyCon ‘18 was another pull factor towards the PyCon. Due to the ticket pricing I couldn’t make it to it.

Variables In Python, the variables are assigned with the type based on the content. string_variable = 'some text' int_variable = 33 print(type(string_variable), type(int_variable)) And, these variables are allowed to change in a program. In Rust, the variables can either be mutable or immutable. By default, the variables are immutable. Mutable - Values are allowed to change Immutable - Values are not allowed to change fn main(){letdefault_variable=2;println!("The value in default_variable is {}",{default_variable});default_variable=3;//Here, the code will fail.
