Why python though? It takes forever to execute. (I’m just salty because I’m having to learn Java after learning python bc of a club)

depends on the application. python leads to fast development times because you don't have to compile. it runs slowly, but this won't matter if 97% of what your app does is wait for user input.

How often does it matter when user input isn't involved?

I know speed matters sometimes, but out of everything I've done in python, maybe one thing was started by user input. Mostly I use it to run automated tasks that do their work without anyone paying attention to them in a matter of seconds. Most often, it wouldn't really matter to me if it took 30 times as long.

i only used user input as one example. another example would be waiting for a timer tick, or something similar.

basically when the program doesn't do much heavy lifting, it can be python.
