Python Vs. Java For Intermediate Developers

The decision to go with Java or Python as your second programming language is often a function of what platform you want to run on. Python Is used much more in Google, but Java is used in more mobile devices.

i stoped watching when the ugly guy said with java you can write server code and client code with JS lol ! ugly and dumb !! you got it all bro sorry

[BlackwaterOpsDotCom]

@Username7260 If you think JAVA, JAVA Script is Easy. If you think Perl, or Python JAVA Script seems very foreign. You didn't eve bother to have a real name so I can't imagine how ugly you must be to choose to be anonymous. TROLL.

Java and JavaScript are NOT the same language! And python is a scripting language like ruby and php NOT like C and C++! And by the way java is the one like C++.

@amgadhs Python Runs Compiled in most place Python is a scripting language Very Rarely. Java and Java Script follow similar naming and Object models I didn't say they were the same language.

@BlackwaterOpsDotCom

Java and Javascript are similar like Car and Carpet are similar.

"JavaScript, despite the name, is essentially unrelated to the Java programming language, although both have the common C syntax, and JavaScript copies many Java names and naming conventions. The language was originally named "LiveScript" but was renamed in a co-marketing deal between Netscape and Sun, in exchange for Netscape bundling Sun's Java runtime with their then-dominant browser."

@BlackwaterOpsDotCom The thrust of your point seems to be that Java's superficial similarity to JavaScript makes it easier for Java programmers to use js than would python developers. This may be true for the most basic usage. For anything beyond that, it's a casual observation from a lot (a *lot*) of time spent in freenode's ##javascript that python developers grok js much more quickly than java ones.

[hughfdjackson]

@BlackwaterOpsDotCom Also, to compare things on the basis of their object model alone when you're talking about a multiparadigm language is to miss a huge swathe of features.

js and python both have first class functions and closure functions, which makes the functional programming style possible.  From there, support for function composition, libs using HO functions, partial application etc is not far off.

[hughfdjackson]

@BlackwaterOpsDotCom Javascript has no classes; it has prototypal inheritance instead of classical. Sure, they tried to make it *look* very much like java to try to make it easier on developers to pick up, but the model is nothing alike.

I have to admit I enjoy watching these videos, not sure why exactly

[JerodimusPrime]

@amgadhs exactly what i was going to say :-)
