  <p>I am extremely confused whether Java has a massive advantage over python, as the libraries are written using Java and kafka. So my question is, does the native implementation of Kafka in Java helps with performance tremendously when Java is used, or PyPy/Python works equally better?</p>
  
  <p>Being a python programmer, I am not at all comfortable with java, and hence confused.</p>
