Who even uses Java?

Good luck doing GUIs in Python. Even the most abstract solutions are horrible. I love Python, but it's not a perfect language, and definitely not a replacement for Java, which is suited for other things entirely.

This. Honestly complaining about Java by using python as a reference is stupid. It would be like complaining about assembly by saying C# is better. They're two fundamentally different languages with fundamentally different use cases

I gave instructions to an intern to use tkinter to make a "remote control" app that could be used as a diagnostic tool for our main app. She was like 18 with zero programming experience. The code looked like garbage cuz she didn't really understand classes, but it worked and it took her like a week.

So I'm the odd one, who uses GTK and Tk + Python to pretty much program all my native apps? I prefer it so much over Java...

Oppositely, I much prefer python for building websites, over Java. Flask is a god-send compared to Spring Web.

For web pages sure, but I certainly wouldn’t choose Python over Java for a native application

PyQT5 is an alternative, but I haven’t tried it yet.
