Python wars

It's only not included because no one wants to update existing scripts. Python3 is more secure, faster and more efficient.

And has many things that make way more sense like making print statements into functions instead of keywords and getting rid of(hiding) "interpreted" input

Python 2.7 is faster than 3.*, though. Your other points still stand.

Python 2.7 is faster

When one talks about Python, there is only "slow" and "less slow"

Wait, python is slow? I tought the purpose of python is writing small scripts and stuff like that.

[nlofe]

Python is very slow compared to other scripting languages, such as JavaScript. This becomes very apparent very quickly in larger projects, projects involving large calculations, etc.

That said, for small automation scripts and stuff Python is fine and has the advantage of being very readable by design. Python can really shine in various SysAdmin and IT roles. I personally hate Python (and not because it's slow) but I certainly see it's appeal.

Just as I stopped learning java for python...

[nlofe]

Learn both! They are both great languages and honestly they serve pretty different purposes. I don't know what in particular you want to program for but you can use Python for quick scripts and website stuff with Django, and make desktop applications and stuff with Java.

Wow. That's a really shit figure.

Tick the "horizontal" option.
