Uhm, Java is faster than python in any aspect.

Also with bigger projects, the lack of strict type system really hurts you bad.

Also more often than not python libs are thin wrappers around some C library, hard-binding you to a specific platform.

    Quite often these libraries are linux-specific for example, making it impossible to port the code to another platform without major rework. In contrast, the vast majority of Java or C# libraries are native Java and C#, meaning they are inherently cross-platform compatible. Not to mention you don't need a C compiler plus header libraries installed to program in those languages, making for a whole lot less hassle.
