Hey! Leave Java out of this, Java didn't do anything to you! Joking mostly aside, python is way way closer to C++ in terms of language feature bloat; where Java is notoriously spartan and slow moving (moreso historically). Ofcourse I know you're also reffering to standard lib gunk but that's relatively less impactful. The big issue with the python 3 shift was when you touch something as substantial, subtle, and pervasive as strings you're going to cause problems. I wont speak to if it was worth it.
