This is what is very often overlooked - Python and Java have an overlap, but the symmetric difference of their problem spaces is substantial. One can write CRUD servers with any language and this is what’s usually discussed in lieu of a real comparison. But this subset of their intersection is minuscule and is too shallow to hold for a comparison that would have an impact. This is universal across lots of discussions comparing “programming languages” or their “ecosystems” which is hard without material experience in all of them.

On the other hand, how universal is the problem of migrating from one ORM to another? Not all problems Java I has been leveraged to solve are relevant today. This is the extra baggage we have to carry forward.
