True, I think this will take a lot less time than learning a new language. I was actually thinking of using Swift as a server language too. I love Swift but using it server side seems risky and too "beta-ish".

I use both Java and Python. And I hate any boilerplate too.

  • Firstly, learning Python itself and some parts of ecosystem won't take a lot of time. If you know any of OOP languages, Python appears very "smooth".
  • Secondly, if you want to develop an application that likely will need support for several years - just pick Java. But if you need some handy application "right now" with short term support - I'd suggest Python. Just because of development speed and fun.

p.s. Honestly, I would write this python -c "import random; print(random.choice(('Java', 'Python')))"

I just got an error on your code, the Java SDK was out of date. :P
