Interesting comments about Py on LT

So what? Java doesn't yet come close to filling Python's shoes.  They
are languages with different design goals and work better or worse in
a different set of environments based on what they were intended to
do.  I certainly wouldn't bother using Java in places that I use
Python.

Wisdom is to use the tool most suited for the job.

In my tool box at the ready I have bash (awk, grep, etc...), Python
and Smalltalk as the main tools, with C on hand for special cases.  In
places where I would consider Python, Smalltalk usually doesn't make
sense, and vice versa.  Requirements dictate the environment and the
requirements and environment suggest the best tool.

So far I haven't found an environment where Java is the right tool 
*shrug*  So what?

Take care,
