All said and done, I prefer to use Java over Python
for large applications
Good for you; there are others that share your tastes, but that's all it is:
preference. A good coder could create an equally powerful suitably large
application in either

In fact this is not quite right. In java, int x = 10 produces a
primitive type. Not a class instance at all. In this case x
Well, the class is simply a construct that Java uses to define an object.
Also, the concept of object is well defined in Java which makes it easier
for the programmer to know what can and cannot be done. In Python, it is
not as explicit. Java is a programming language and hence cannot be

Both Java and Python compile to bytecode, which a virtual machine then
interprets. In Java this step is

Python is compiled, then interpreted. Java is compiled, then
interpreted. Java compilation is explicit, Python compilation
implicit.
Actually, that's not true. Languages such as Perl and Python were designed
to write scripts, not to code entire applications. Python is an exception
because it can be successfully used to code large applications, unlike
some other scripting languages. So it's best to call Python a scripting
Here is a document that explains why scripting languages are better than
system programming languages (like C, C++, Java) for creating large
scale applications, for gluing components together, thanks to weak typing:
