Python Is Older Than Java

The comic perfectly illustrates how programming languages are judged by their age in the tech industry. Python (created in 1991) is 33 years old and gets an "aww, you're sweet" reaction, while Java (created in 1995) at 29 years old triggers immediate HR concerns. It's the same energy as a senior dev explaining why their legacy COBOL system is "mature" but your 5-year-old framework is "unstable." The tech world's double standard hits harder than a production outage on a Friday afternoon.
