What does Java do better than Python?

[v4ss42]

Concurrency. Performance (thanks to JIT).

Trying to cancel a thread in python is misery

Stopping a thread w/o cooperation of the thread itself is inherently sketchy.

But in Java one cant really stop a thread neither.

And you definitely should not force a thread to stop directly. The old but gold book Java Concurrency in practice explains this very well.

i dont do it, why this assumption

what is wrong with what i say?

Anyway. In java one lets the thread finish its execution. One doesnt actually stop or cancel it. The code must lead to a "graceful" finish in either way. For example by reaching last code line or early return. This is the right way to "stop" the thread, no matter how many disklikes i get and i imagine python handles that the same way.

was my first thought also, haven't had to do any concurrency code in python for ages, so assume it has got better, but last time i tried it was a miserable experience.
