Data Science Model Deployments and Cloud Computing on GCP - Runtime Environments

The video discusses the differences between programming languages, focusing on runtime environments and platform-specific languages. It explains that not all languages can run everywhere, using examples like JavaScript for web browsers and Swift for iOS. The video also lists various languages and their typical use cases, such as Java for Android and Python for backend development. The conclusion highlights the importance of understanding where languages can execute and previews the next video on the development experience.
