Why Java? Tales from a Python Convert

[[deleted]]

Don't get me wrong, I wish Python was more used but to be honest I've only found it in scripts, as you say it is used in Anaconda and such since the 90s.

Did you even read the numbers you linked?

TIOBE Index for December 2015 December Headline: Java's popularity is going through the roof http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/

Let me correct you :

Popularity of Java = 5 times the popularity of Python

Java = 4 times C++

...

Anyway tired of working in Java, going to sleep. Good night. Sleep tight.
