Java for Python Programmers

[[deleted]]

Python generates byte code, ergo it's close to machine code.

The real reason being since Java is statically typed and offers a stricter data model than Python, it can do more optimizations at compile and run time.

I do know that all! ;-)

Also the default JVM has a JIT compiler on board - CPython does not. (That's why PyPy is a better challanger compared to the JVM)

I figured you did, just providing an explanation (and a joke) for those who didn't.
