That is sort of ironic because the Pythonistas did not leave out any opportunity to criticize Java. Java was developed by world class experts like Gosling and attracted other type experts like Philip Wadler. No world class expert is going to contribute to Python after 2020 anyway, since the slanderous and libelous behavior of the Steering Council and the selective curation of allowed information on PSF infrastructure makes the professional and reputational risk too high. Apart from the fact that Python is not an interesting language for language experts. Google and Microsoft have already shut down several failed projects. |

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.
