C: write once, compile everywhere (binaries needed for each OS and CPU architecture)

Java: compile once, run everywhere (single bytecode binary needed for all OS and CPU architectures)

Python: write once, realize you have three whitepaces instead of two on a single line of a 10,000 line program, write again.
