Hard to say; Python has its uses. So does Java. True multilinguistic
programmers aren't going to tell you that one is better than the other.
Java has a cplusplus-like syntax. Python has a lightweight syntax. It's
a great scripting language.

I don't see why you'd look at this as an either-or proposition, and I
presonally think this is a false dichotomy.
