What does "powerful" mean? I sure as heck wouldn't call Java a
powerful language for interacting with C code, for instance.
This kind of discussion is not likely to be fruitful. Most
participants will have a limited understanding of both
languages, terms like powerful will go undefined, and claims
will be based on anecdotes rather than data. If you want to
compare languages, you need to start by figuring out what you
want to do, then you need to decide which language will help
you get there the easiest, which is the best option for
long-term maintenance, and so on. A language's power (whatever
that means) is not going to be a big factor in that decision.
Thanks, I was shock with the claim because I have knowledge of
both languages
