Hi all,

I would like to propose that we show Python code examples first in the
Spark documentation where we have multiple programming language examples.
An example is on the Quick Start page:
https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/quick-start.html

I propose this change because Python has become more popular than the other
languages supported in Apache Spark. There are a lot more users of Spark in
Python than Scala today and Python attracts a broader set of new users.
For Python usage data, see https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ and
https://insights.stackoverflow.com/trends?tags=r%2Cscala%2Cpython%2Cjava.

Also, this change aligns with Python already being the first tab on our
home page:
https://spark.apache.org/

Anyone who wants to use another language can still just click on the other
tabs.

I created a draft PR for the Spark SQL, DataFrames and Datasets Guide page
as a first step:
https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/40087


I would appreciate it if you could share your thoughts on this proposal.


Thanks a lot,
Allan Folting
