Compared to Java, Python is compact, expressive and lightweight. It is dynamically typed 
with first-class functions and far better built-in support for simple data structures, 
introspection and metaprogramming. After writing Python for a while, Java seems full of 
unneccessary restrictions and artificial limitations. In comparison, Python stays out of 
the way.
