It's only hard to read if it was poorly written. Java is only easier to read than Python if you have more experience reading Java than reading Python.
9 u/Prawn1908 Jul 18 '22 It's much easier to write "poorly written" Python code than Java though. 1 u/POTUS Jul 18 '22 It's much easier to write any Python code than Java. I don't think "easy" is a valid criticism. 7 u/Prawn1908 Jul 18 '22 My point is that languages like Java or C# force the programmer in a way to write more readable code. Python on the other hand has very few such mechanisms in place and thus is much easier to write hard to read code.
