>"Guido: Java is a decent language," 1999

I get the idea that Python and Java went in opposite directions. But I'm not aware of any fight between both languages. I don't think that's a thing either.

Regarding stuff that happens in the 2020. Python was developed in the 90s, python 3 was launched in 2008. Besides some notable PEPs like type hints, WSGI, the rest of development are footnotes. The same goes for most languages (with perhaps the exception of the evergrowing C++), languages make strong bc guarantees and so the bulk of their innovation comes from the early years.

Whatever occurs in the 20th and 30th year of development is unlikely to be revolutionary or very significant. Especially ignoreable is the drama that might emerge in these discussions, slander, libel inter-language criticism?

Just mute that out. I've read some news about some communities like Ruby on Rails or Nix that become overtaken by people and discussions of political nature rather than development, they can just be ignored I think.
