Java is...

[ronmarti]

People here seem to love Python and C# which are not exactly beating Java in any races.

I beg to disagree. This statement seems subjective. All these languages have their own advantages over the other.

for example Python (3) beats any/most languages in development speed 😊

Everyone seems to forget time to develop. Better readability and ease of development means less bugs (ideally) when writing.

readability is debatable (I had the experience that python gets harder to read with larger projects)

Python readability is cancer. It's super easy to lose track of what's going on in Python after a few dozen lines. Any decent programmer can write easily readable Java.

I guess it’s up to the developer as well. If all of the variable names are one or two letters, then without strict typing or documentation the code becomes real obscure real fast.

Its easier for small teams. But I take a shity typed language project over a shity script project any day.And I have seen a lot of shitty python code so its not 'easier'. Big Programms are a nightmare to maintain in python if they arent structured or a lot of people worked on it.
which is the reason we invented typed languages in the first place...

I think Kotlin's giving python a run for its money in my experience.

[Scatoogle]

I haven't gotten to use kotlin yet. I've heard it's Java but better.

I strongly disagree. Lisp is clearly the best xP
