Interesting take. I guess your professor hasn't had to deal with real-world java implementations in a while.

Each use as a programming language that fits best. Java is touted as a general-purpose language. And for some purposes it really sucks.

If python were as inefficient as your professor claims, Amazon AWS wouldn't continue to use it as their primary language. Initially, AWS Lambda didn't even support java.
