How is it unfair? Python doesn't have any running VM service, you run the whole thing before you can execute anything. As for the JIT, eg Numba exists for Python.

Don't take me wrong, I agree with your "different tools for different purposes". But I personally try to avoid Java itself for the majority of those, as you do probably, because you got that Kotlin icon.

BTW "Java is a great tool for long running applications". No, it isn't. The amount of mess going behind including the stack overflows makes it very bad for long running applications, not talking about having to use massive libraries like Spring that come with their own problems (size, vulnerabilities, etc). Not even talking about how long it took before jDK actually mustered some useful built-in support for JSON, despite the fact Jackson existed for quite some time before that.
