Maybe you don't remember exactly what you did when you were 7 years old, playing with Legos, video games or similar. It is possible that it took you a few more years to become curious about the exciting world of programming.
Well, this is not the case of Kautilya Katariya, a child crazy about programming, who at just 6 years old, in 2020, became the youngest Python programmer in the world, managing to enter the book Guinness World Records.
Specifically, Kautilya achieved this achievement at the age of 6 years and 346 days. On her website she indicated that after the closure of schools due to the impact of Covid-19 and with the need to stay at home, Kautilya dedicated her time to confinement in training as a Python programmer.
Currently Kautilya has 5 diplomas in Python and has also completed a course on AI fundamentals and as he tells us on his page “One day he would like to create an AI program that could do anything: if you were sick it could be a doctor, if you want to talk, a friend, if you needed to travel, it could become a car or rocket". As we already told you Python is the most popular language in 2020 and has started 2021 topping the list again. Therefore, if you are thinking about starting to learn a new programming language, I encourage you to start with Python because I am sure that if Kautilya had learned with our Master in advanced programming in Python for Hacking, BigData and Machine Learning, would have achieved the Guinness record even earlier.
