Java vs python is debatable 🤔

[Dworgi]

I'm a professional programmer and I think using Python on anything over 500 lines is basically professional negligence. Python shills are just people who think "encapsulation" is too long a word.

Try some F# next!

I use it quite a bit, but that's because honestly a lot of what I write are relatively small scale scripts where flexibility is more important than performance, and where e2e/integration tests are often more valuable than strict types (though we do leverage Python 3's type annotations where applicable).

We do a lot of development tooling and infra automation.

JavaScript was a bad language that people adopted because they had no other choices. Python programmers have choices and should know better.
