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
