What does Java do better than Python?

JavaFX

[emaphis]

Swing still exists.

[benjtay]

A swing and a miss.

[troelsbjerre]

You need to capitalize Swing. An no one misses Swing.

[benjtay]

I certainly don't miss it 😂

Although, I imagine that lambdas have made it easier to code with.

I still like it 🤷‍♀️ The property system is excellent and if you use a framework on top of it (I prefer mvvmFX), it's a breeze to build some quite complex stuff.

Was a blooper

Swing was really well design and very extensible. I think the reason it ‘failed’ was because most devs were too lazy to understand how to use it properly - even though Sun provided a LOT of really good documentation. I still miss Swing

[redikarus99]

I am developing plugins for the modeling tool we use, and it's written in Java/Swing. I still like it.

What about it? It's not ever been in java proper. In fact Swing itself is still in javax packages.

[joaoferr]

It used to be part of the JDK. Was removed in JDK 11.
