Oh, I completely agree and I would never say that.

But at the same time, Java promotes complexity and overengineering. I've seen 10+ nested classes for something that was a 5-line function in Python.

The big difference for me is when I talk to Python engineer they agree that their spaghetti sucks. They want to evolve out of it, they just haven't found a way yet.

It is much harder to convince Java folks that their class hierarchies are useless.

Fixing Python spaghetti is way easier than fixing Java folks mindset.
