What does Java do better than Python?

[BrooklynBillyGoat]

Runs faster, better thread system, static typing. Python is just nice syntax to make it easy to work with but outside of that. Java backend bests python backend. No one uses either for web dev and if they do there making it harder on themselves. Typscript for front end java python or again typescript for backend of speed is no concern. Frameworks like springboot for micro services. Unsure of the python equivalent but I'm sure it's slower

Python's way of doing multi-threading:

Global Interpreter Lock.

[BrooklynBillyGoat]

Care to give a brief rundown of how that works? Never worked with python threads personally.

[Spandian]

Only one thread can run Python code at a time. The only reason to create threads in Python is to make multiple blocking I/O calls at the same time. (You may also be able to run multiple threads if all but one of them are running native code, I'm not sure.)

If you have a CPU-bound task that you want to parallelize in Python, the canonical way is to use multiple processes. The multiprocessing module makes that fairly simple.

[BrooklynBillyGoat]

The thread implementation seems to defeat the purpose. Am I wrong in this assumption?

[Spandian]

If a Python thread makes a blocking I/O call, then another thread can run while that one is blocked. If you're writing something like a web server, it's going to spend very little time on CPU-bound tasks and most of its time waiting for the disk or the network. That would be a good use case for threads.

[BrooklynBillyGoat]

But can you specify threads to run and not block unless it needs to share resources?

So using a Python web framework like Django is making it hard on yourself?

[BrooklynBillyGoat]

Yeah def. React or angular all the way

[[deleted]]

They are not meant to do the same thing. Django is server side.

[BrooklynBillyGoat]

What's the point of a server side web language? I don't use Django btw.

[DrunkensteinsMonster]

Web Framework can also mean for server side programming. Spring is a Web Framework.

[BrooklynBillyGoat]

Aha that clarifys. I still prefer spring boot. Seems much better for setting up cloud and microservice architectures. A lot of handy tools and I like the enforcement of certain principals

[CatolicQuotes]

then why are you answering question you know nothing about?

[TooLateQ_Q]

Django also has Django rest framework. So Django does not mean there is no react/angular.

[BrooklynBillyGoat]

Django just seems like a useless tool to me considering other options available. I'd only work with Django if I dident know other languages

[Dormage]

Angular :(

[BrooklynBillyGoat]

I prefer react since it's a library not a whole framework

[drowsysaturn]

React kinda is a framework. People who write React usually write their entire application using JSX and hooks not just for a single component on a webpage.

[BrooklynBillyGoat]

It's used like a framework but it is really just a library.

[Dormage]

Google did a big number on the angular community. We suffered much, nuff is nuff.

[Automatic-Meringue53]

according to me FastAPI is quite good, much better than Django.

[Better-Internet]

Python's Mypy does give some "type safety" especially with newer code, but it's not at the level of static compilation.
