Thread: Stubborn about java

Python is simple but surprisingly powerful and can handle low-level stuff (better than Java I think, but not sure since it's been a while). If the program is simple enough, you might be able to write it with python in 6 lines, while in Java it might take 25. So it's far superior in writing tiny programs imo.

He probably just thinks it isn't a real language because its basics are so easy and simple, and he likes to think that 'real' programming like that which he does is more complicated and requires intelligence to learn. It's an ego boost. I've heard some tenacious C++ or C programmers make the same claim about Java, that it's hardly a real language, because it's so high level and 'simple' compared to C.
