I like Java as a language, but IMHO many libraries are unnecessarily
complicated. I remember spending some evenings on simple things, like
sending an email or retrieving a webpage via HTTP. Python also has an
extensive library, but most tasks that should be simple, are.

With Java I was used to making some fresh coffee before starting to progr=
am.
While the machine was brewing coffee I would browse through the Javadocs.
Equiped with API knowledge and a fresh cup of coffee I would start writin=
g
out a class hierarchy, interfaces, declarations and exception handling. W=
ith
Python I'm usually done programming before the coffee machine has finishe=
d,
and I get to enjoy the coffee while watching my program run :-)
