annoying things in java:

• ratio of code to functionality is depressing
• five hundred billion { curlyBrackets(); } :lazy:
• compile-test cycle drives me up the wall, even with ant. compiler is slooooow, because a gazillion libraries are loaded even to compile a 500b class. then VM is initiated to run the class. :wallbang:
• insanely complicated library in terms of instantiating classes to accomplish simple things like string formatting, string splitting etc etc

annoying things in python:

• writing self.member instead of just member

why python kicks java's ass:

• far more human readable
• much faster in Real Human Time (tm)
• functional
• softly typed
• pleasant to work with (!!!)
