python is not hard to maintain. it's probably the easiest and most functional language I know. it's just a slow interpreted scripting language that has really bad official documentation.

Same person, also no fucking clue about Python

Rival or better to Java's performance in some applications, but the main point is Python is 5-15 times more productive than Java, and development costs > hardware costs.

No it isn't. It is basically 1 to 1 with Java code. The fact is that Java code gives you some semblence of type safety which Python doesn't give by design.
You obviously have no clue about Java or Python.

the fact of the matter is, if you can't write assembly, you're pretty much worthless.

I have to use Java and Python equally in my job and as far as I can determine both languages are equally messed up. Use C if you need something above assembly but aren't forced to do OO, and there are plenty of better OO languages than either of those two as well.
