Which is best, Java or Python in 2020?

Depends what you want to do. You can use either language for almost anything, but they definitely have different strengths and weaknesses that can help you decide which one is better for what you are doing.
Python is good for:
  • Numeric computing and AI
  • All kinds of science and academic stuff (including natural language processing)
  • Rapid prototyping
  • Website backends
  • Learning and teaching programming concepts
  • all kinds of workflow scripting and other small programs for getting simple jobs done.
  • interfacing with C libraries.
Java is good for:
  • Creating and distributing applications (on mobile and desktop)
  • high-performance network backends.
  • creating robust, reliable software at a large scale, especially in teams.
  • implementing more foundational software systems like databases (though you might find C++ a better match for that)
  • As a starting point to learning the JVM and leveraging it for a number of other interesting languages it hosts like Kotlin, Scala, Clojure and others.
I and a lot of other people enjoy programming in Python more than Java, but Python isn’t the best fit for every job, and that’s especially true for areas where Java is strong. Find out what kind of work interests you and choose based on that.

What is JDK, JRE and JVM?

What are JDK, JRE, and JVM: JDK :- Java Development Kit (in short JDK) is Kit which provides the environment to Develop and execute(run ) the Java program. For eg. You(as Java Developer) are developing an accounting application on your machine, so what do you going to need into your machine to develop and run this desktop app? You are going to need  J-D-K  for that purpose for this you just need to go to the official website of sun or oracle to download the latest version of JDK into your machine. Hence, JDK is a kit(or package) which includes two things i) Development Tools(to provide an environment to develop your java programs) and ii) JRE (to execute your java program). JDK is only used by Java Developers. JRE: - Java Runtime Environment (to say JRE) is an installation package which provides an environment to only run(not develop) the java program(or application)onto your machine. For eg(continuing with the same example) after developing your accounting ap...
