Summary

In this chapter, we've looked at the Python language through the prism of different programming paradigms. Whenever it was sensible, we've tried to see how it compares to other programming languages that share similar features to see both strengths and weaknesses of Python.

We went pretty deep into the details of object-oriented programming concepts and extended our knowledge of supplementary paradigms like functional programming, so we are now fully prepared to start discussing topics on structuring and architecting whole applications.

The next chapter will cover that pretty extensively as it will be fully dedicated to various design patterns and methodologies.
