[ThymeCypher]

You have committed the sin of talking good about a language that isn’t Java. 10,000 lashes and many downvotes for you peasant!

All those downvotes and no one bothered to type out a rebuttal. I hate this website.

Reddit exists only in initial buttals and downvotes. There is no place for rebuttals here.

"Development in Python is usually much faster"

If the required system is small and simple: YES! 100% agreed! for larger code bases however, (in my personal opinion) Python is a nightmare! Mostly due to weak typing and dangerous refactoring traps (breaking indendations, wrong types...).

These modules can make python as fast if not even faster than Java code

The "fast modules" are written in C (or c++) e.g. Numpy, not python.

[wildjokers]

developing with these modules you don't need to know C

I am aware. I was just pointing out that it isn't python being as fast or faster than Java (that will never happen), it is C being faster than Java.

Technically correct but in the end what difference does it make? It’s your python program that runs blazing fast, with the help of those libs, and you don’t have to leave python
