I can’t help but wonder if there exists some Java forum /mailing list going on about how horrible Python is.

My first brush with Java was around '98 when it was first becoming popular. To familiarize myself with the AWT I decided to write a simple IDE for the AVR microcontrollers. What a disaster. The UI wasn't bad but the instructions for 8-bit processors require a lot of bit fiddling that was extraordinarily difficult in Java. Then they came out with Swing and the assumption if the app ran with glacial slowness you should get a faster machine. The company I work for has one Java app created around 2000 as a cross platform solution as people moved to Windows. Originally it ran as an applet but when that window was slammed shut it became increasingly unwieldy. For what I'm developing today I used either .NET C# or Python3. The .NET UI's on Linux aren't quite there yet but back end applications are fine. PyQt (PySide actually. If there is a way to screw up commercial licensing Qt will find it) is fine. -- https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list__;!!Cn_UX_p3!iVrdROvxcoNV-GhzezJe8fJSLSAUoPkZHaXF58tWtyogy37PB6b9DH-gINgbVLuU64V4RovArDpnC5jjiQ$<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list__;!!Cn_UX_p3!iVrdROvxcoNV-GhzezJe8fJSLSAUoPkZHaXF58tWtyogy37PB6b9DH-gINgbVLuU64V4RovArDpnC5jjiQ$> -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
