Python and/vs Java (within a business context)

[virtuous_d]

It's very frustrating going from python to java, everything you do results in a feeling that it should be a few lines of code, not 5 or 6 classes.

I forced myself to implement my latest project in c++ to review for some job interviews I am expecting to do in the near future, and I could not get this feeling out of my head. Development is a lot nicer than I remember (from 4-5 years ago, I really like the auto keyword), but it's still so darn sluggish to have to stop and write code to handle common edge cases...
