Yes it depends on how we write the code but comparing the 2 at least at
the middle layer and front-end (pygtk) python is faster than java.

Hello
I'm not expert in low level languages, but I'd say that Python and Java
are "compiled" to bytecodes of similar level. The difference lies in the
information contained in those bytecodes : java is statically typed, so
attribute access and other basic operations are rather quick, allowing
I don't mean to start a flame war, but a productive debate will be
wonderful. I have been writing heavy applications in java for a few
years untill recent past.
My experience is that python is not just fast but also zippy and smooth
when it comes to running the applications.
Infact I have a coupl
Hi.
Standard Python interpreter's implementation is written in C language. C
code while compilation, is compilled into machine code (the fastest
code). Python code is compiled into into byte-code which is also some
sort of fast machine code. So why Python interpreter is slower than Java
VM? B
