Which one to choose Java or Python?

Java V/S Python

Hello everyone, this blog is related to all those who are confused to choose between java or python as there main programming language from which they are trying to seek jobs, so this might be one of the blog that could help you get a better idea on those stuff, as you won't get into something blindly, as someone has suggested or you think its booming.

All the programming languages out there are famous and they are well know by the people who are in need of them for there application development like if the company is mainly focused on web application developer then they would be focused on HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

And if they are using frameworks then it would be Flask, Django, Spring, Spring Boot, Angular, node and React js still many are there but these are few of them like if we go in depth then we could see that Flask and Django uses python to code in them, Spring and Spring boot we use java and for angular, react and node uses JavaScript. so it completely depends on the company and what they are working on.

JavaScript is another concept that we could discus on another blog, but for this blog lets stick on to java and python.

And in the upcoming blogs i will also discuss regarding how to implement the projects using these frameworks. if you guys need a basic details on how to write java code and python code then please comment below. 

So Lets start with the discussion...

Java:-

Its one of the most famous Programming language. Because this programming language is used in all the industries as from the banking applications till the latest desktop applications even our phone applications are built using java even though there are many other languages to write the mobile applications like Kotlin and Dart still the common one used is java and even some of the servers also runs the java on there end. Java is most used because of the OOP(Object Oriented Programming) as it provides security of data, provides a feature of write once and run anywhere feature. As after compiling the java source code its converted to bytecode so the size of this bytecode would be much smaller when compared to the actual code so it consumes less memory to run. And java also provides auto cleanup so soon after the application execution is completed the memory is freed and sent back to heap memory. As it also provides the features of inheritance there is no need to rewrite the same code again and again as we could just import it and use it in our classes.

Pros:-

1. As for a beginner its a good language to start there journey as many of the companies are hiring the candidates who are having knowledge on this.
2. Its much simple when compared to classing programming languages like C and C++
3. There are many pre built functions are there which could be used instead of writing everything from scratch.
4. There are many documentations out there which you could refer to, which is more than any other programming languages.

Corns:-

1. It gets complex as more features need to be added to your application as only for printing hello world on the console you need to write 4-5 lines.
2. For every variable you need to specify the datatype and for functions you need to specify the return type.

Python:-

This Python is considered both as programming as well as scripting language. As these python is used both on building desktop application as well as for web application for scripting. This is not a new language it was there even before java was started. As there are many contributors for this so there are many different libraries that are built for different reasons like for web application development, Desktop application development, analytics, Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence.

The most famous use case of python is for IOT(Internet Of  Things), Machine learning and Artificial intelligence the web development is also in progress but only few companies are working on it.

Pros:-

1. Best programming language as its easy to learn, for running hello world only one line is required 
2. The code complexity is less.
3. There is no requirement for specifying the data type as the python is intelligent enough to handle the variables 
4. There are many built in packages that makes the things easier we just need to import them and use them.
5. Many documentations are available but not as much as java.

Corns:- 

1. Indentation: Providing indentation is very important if you didn't provide a proper indentation then you will get a error.
2. Hard to find jobs as a fresher, unless you are very good with the skill set.

Conclusion:-

Let me make the conclusion clear with some points :-

1. If you are a fresher and have no knowledge regarding anything and want to start with programming then i would recommend java as the job vacancies are more. Note: If you are interested in python then you could go for that as its easy to start with it but difficult to reach to the minimum requirement of the companies.
2. If you are someone who already have some experience in the technical field in development then you could start with python as python is easy to learn and it would be a great weightage for your resume.
3. If you want to earn more python is better but after some experience but as if you are a fresher then go with java start your journey in it then continue with python that would be a great way to move in.
4. If you are someone who want to learn coding for fun then go with python its fun and you could do many things with it like create a chatbot, create your own tools still many more.
