What I meant was that it's faster to write than in Java due to it's simplified syntax. Speedwise, I believe Java is faster, but it's not very noticable - if at all.

Edit: I just pulled this off of a forum by a user named sturlamolden from Velocity Reviews and it sums up my own opinions as well as what I've been told from instructors:

- Coding? Yes, if you program 'pythonic'.

- String handling? Often.

- I/O and networking? Often.

- Iteration? No.

- Function calls and recursion? No.

- Arithmetics with elemental types? No.

- Numerics? Yes, if you use NumPy.
