I'm not a heavy Python user, but I'd say these would be the top three. Java uses braces to identify blocks, while Python uses indentation: // Python if something: // do something, must be indented else: // do something else // Java if (something) { // do something } else { // do something else } Java also ends each statement with a semicolon, while Python does not. You'll notice this right away when comparing Java and Python code. 2) Java enforces variable types. In Python, this is OK: // Python i = 4 // i stores a number i = "four" // i stores a string In Java, it's not: // Java int i = 4; // i is declared to store only integers i = "four"; // will generate an error, since i must store integers 3) Python has built-in lists and maps (called dictionaries), while Java does not: // Python i = [1, 2, 4] // i is a list, and its size can change i.append(5) print(i) m = { 1: "test" } print(m) Pretty much anything with these built-in data structures works nicely right out of the box using Python. In contrast, in Java this looks like: // Java // Lists and maps require a ton of imports import java.util.List; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.Map; import java.util.HashMap; // And the overall syntax for using them is ... involved List i = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(1, 2, 4)); i.add(5); System.out.println(i); Map m = new HashMap<>(Map.of(1, "test")); System.out.println(m); (Sorry for all the edits. Reddit support for fenced code blocks is still really terrible, which makes providing code examples very frustrating.) More on reddit.com

I mean, they're both very advantageous, and have lots of job opportunities, though in different areas. Most Python jobs revolve around data science, AI, automation. Most Java jobs are back-ends for enterprise/large companies or enterprise related software, and legacy Android apps (I say legacy only because newer apps are most likely using Kotlin while Java is being used to maintain old apps).

On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge. If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options: Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or Temporarily refraining from using Reddit Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium as a way to voice your protest.
