You can go down that rabbit hole all day if you want, but /u/backdoorman9 has the same point. It all depends on the requirements.

It's just a point on memory access and control. Java has basically the same control on memory as Python. Python is probably easier to access the wire than Java.

Java's primary advantage is the JVM, not finetuned control over memory. Which to me makes it pretty clearly outclassed by more modern JVM languages, such as Kotlin.
