Have been listening to the debates of Java vs Python... I've got an R&D project in mind but I don't have much funds, so it's important that I get a lot of productivity out of any developers I hire. The Python language is inherently a quicker way to code but Java has a huge and rapidly-growing body of libraries and tools, plus the fact that the JSR committee has been addressing the community's demand for more scriptability in Java.
I've begun reading today on Beanshell, which might address some of my Java productivity issues. Beanshell provides a shell where you can script lines of Java code, providing rapid prototyping. I think it provides the scripting and weak-typing features that provide productivity for Python developers.
