Summary

The number of Python developers increased significantly between 2017 and Q1 2021, with a notable growth in Q4 2021 and Q1 2022, making it the most popular programming language. This new group of Python practitioners uses Python for data-related tasks but lacks the tooling they expect from modern organizations. To serve this growing market, a company aims to provide a "Pythonic" way of working with data, allowing users to write source and load it without a significant learning curve. The goal is to make data loading autonomous in organizations with 150 employees or less, while also appealing to data engineers who will be integral in evolving the platform.
