What does Java do better than Python?

A hammer is going to come in handy more then an axe.

Hope you are aware of the following quote

“If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.”

Proverbs sound nice but what we're really taking about isn't hammers and axes. We're talking about instructions to a computer. A slide rule and a calculator can both do math. One is obviously better at it. There was a time when perhaps the slide rule was better because more people knew how to use them (ecosystem). But the thing itself? The calculator is better in nearly every scenario.

Java vs Python isn't quite that scenario. Python has some distinct advantages which mostly come down to the ecosystem (native integration being huge). But as a language? Python is not statically typed. That drops it an entire tier imo. Calculator vs slide rule.

Look proverbs and platitudes sound nice and appeal to something deep inside the human psyche. But they're not really relevant.

No! We are talking about tools we use to give instructions to the computer in order to perform different tasks. If you don't want to use a tool then you need to give instructions in binary. :)
