I've done some large projects in Java, and found Java development to
be more like rigid old Fortran/C edit-compile-run development, even
with an IDE plus debugger. Python's easily the best fit.

For ...?

Java works great. C# works great. Python works great. Assembler works great.

Whatever.

FWIW, my opinion of Java is that it's just fine for AI, and its unique
idiomatic style is just that - an idiomatic style. Your dislike of it is
immaterial.

If you do not like a compile phase then Java is not
a language for you.
