>From technical point of view, I could not understand the the reasoning behind using Java in major companies. Sure that Python, is used in some, but still Java is considered as a sure-job language.
After being a python programmer for long time, I consider it painful to learn/use Java now (well, like many I will be forced to do that in my job). What makes such companies to choose Java over dynamic, productive languages like Python? Are there any viable, technical reasons for that? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
