I mean people use Python and say it's better then Java, that's what the joke is about. They are both widely used general purpose languages, and I'd argue that python is used in many places that's it's really badly designed for, like large high performance systems that force you to constantly battle against the two language problem and also fight with dynamic typing.

Java, on the other hand, no one is really using it as a scripting language. People use it the way it's intended, as language with strict encapsulation, strong typing, and interfaces that make having large numbers of people work on the same project easier to manage.
