 All the languages have similar "power", in a theoretical sense. If
you can solve a problem with one, most of the time you'll be able to
solve it with the other. So we could say that the languages are
"equal".

 However, in practice, the syntax matters a lot. For example, they
will influence on the maintainability and the performance of your
application.

 Pretty much everything. Python syntax is minimalist, so it requires
much less code. There are many examples in Wikipedia, for example:

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_datagram_protocol#Sample_code_.28Python.29
 http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix_sort#C.C3.B3digo_em_Java
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_pattern#Python

 etc.
