Java is old. Java is a general-purpose programming language that utilizes classes and, like Python, is object-oriented.

Java was developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems, released in 1995 as a part of Sun Microsystem’s Java Platform. Java transformed the web experience from simple text pages to pages with video and animation.

Designed by Guido van Rossum, Python actually has a design philosophy centered around code readability. The Python community will grade each other’s code based on how Pythonic the code is.
