I'm no fan of Python after the 2-3 debacle, but to be fair, you're comparing apples and oranges here. Why not instead compare it to another C-like language (Java was originally intended to be the replacement for C++ back in 1995, and Python dates back to 1989.)
Go or Rust, or even Erlang or Haskell would be great examples that are more inline with the design goals (then and now) of Java.
- throwaway2037 3y agocomparing apples and oranges That is exactly my point. People start a small project in Python. Velocity is very high. Then, the project grows into a monstrosity. Suddenly, the awful Python "VM" (slow as hello) and lack of true multi-threading are major project liabilities. They should have started with someone much less sexy: DotNet (C#) or Java. Repetitive? Hell yes, but easy to maintain and cheap to hire devs.
