You could say it is other way around or that they swim in the same ocean.
They both got pattern matching around the time brought a similar process of deliberation and came up with similar but different answers that were well-matched to the rest of the language and that will continue to improve. Java is going to FFI like Python, maybe some day I will have huggingface models running in Jython. JVM also supports great dynamic languages like Clojure if you are following the classical complex system architecture (GNU Emacs, Grand Theft Auto) of scripting + system for the win. In Python you write C for your systems language or maybe Rust.
