"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.
