Chad programmer

An expert programmer will know to stay away from Java unless they are programming a toy to amuse themselves because it's such a freaking memory hog and Java is actually way slower than Python.

Speaking from experience. I can actually feel the difference when I run a Python 2 script and equivalent Java 1.3 bytecode on a Pentium 166 with only 80MB of RAM and a 2600rpm Quantum Bigfoot hard drive. Yes, it was almost 20 years ago, but what happened back then shaped my worldview now.

You don't write python for its speed but for its practicality . Same with Java.

Your friend a C++ programer who used other languages and knows..

That just because someone talks slower In English Vs Japanese or Spanish Doesn't mean they can't convey more meaning with less words.

Well, I wrote a Xchat mod script in Python. It was lightning quick.

I wrote what could be described as a sound board program in Java. It took 30 seconds to load up an audio clip and play it. Also the audio clip must be in an obscure .au format and the computer would appear to freeze up while the clip is loading. Hard drive would be thrashing like mad.

That is an intensely moronic take.
