This is the main reason. Pythons ecosystem also has silly trends and package churn, and plenty of untrained developers. It’s the lack of a proper standard library. As bad a language as it may be, Java shows how to get this right.

To be fair Java has improved a lot over the last few years. I really have the feeling that Java is getting better, while C++ is getting worse.


Goddamnit: meant to write “node’s” not “pythons”. Human is hallucinating.

What? Python's standard library seems far more extensive than Java's.


A strange typo: should have written “node”. Kinda changed the intent of my comment. Oops.

Yeah if anything I'm used to the opposite complaint about python that there's too much included in the stdlib.
