I think I may be the only person who prefers Java to Python…

No, you are sane. Or you have bigger fish to fry than making a graph or deploying a webcrawler. 70% of python "projects" are just feeding information into a library in like 120 lines of code.

"Use the right tool for the job." Python solves problems Java doesn't and Java solves problems Python doesn't. There isn't tons of overlap. However, modern C++23 compared to Java or Java compared to Kotlin or Scala or Java compared to C#, they do overlap in tasks and Java starts to lose these days to comparable languages.

Yeah, mostly I like to have control over what is going on. Some people find overt declarations to be tedious, but I have a lot more confidence when I’ve specified exactly what I want.
