Sure python may be easier to learn, but it makes learning actual programming more difficult. Ever since the CS department switched to python, my workload as a computer systems TA has doubled.

Everybody hating on Java being the de facto language every student learns first (at least back when I was in university) but I think it’s actually a great first language while I don’t think python is for one simple reason: it has types but tries to hide them from you. It is soooo important to understand types early though.

The tech school I went to switched from Java to python in the last year and I wasn’t a fan. I think it’s cool how much it assumes but I much prefer the clear structure of Java. There’s so much in python that you just don’t have to think about, but I find thinking about it in Java helps me when I’m stuck.
