Python for me. I supposed I am contrary to what the author means, but the python site shows activity and community of a growing language. The java site shows basically nothing but flashiness in comparison. If I was to choose a language based on its website, I would go with the clean, well-organized one.
- davidw 18y agoI'm not really much of a Python user these days, but yeah, of the two, I'd have to say that the Java site has been completely coopted by the folks from marketing, whereas the Python site is clearly a 'community run' operation. Yes, it's not as good looking, but who cares?!
- silentbicycle 18y agoThe Python site looks like its designer placed a higher priority on being organized and informative than being flashy; the overall design says, "This is why Python is a good language, and here's how you can try it out." (The same applies to http://haskell.org http://haskell.org, I think.) The Java site makes it sound like something people would try to sell on TV late at night. ("Operators are standing by!") How many stock images of people with laptops can you put on one page?
