Java is made of fail and lose (with a generous quantity of bloat, 10 levels of inheritance, and disgusting API spice). It tastes like low productivity, failed projects, not meeting deadlines and poor consultants, and hate-programming. Especially hate-programming.
Python is made of win and Guido Van Rossum. Win is alright, and I've got mixed feelings about Guido but the whole mix is quite good so far, so I'll take a double ration of Python and none of Java.
