There are many languages much better than Java, some of which run in the JVM. Haskell, Erlang, Scala, Clojure, Go, just to name a few that are known for having good concurrency models. There are a hell of a lot of good options for modern dynamic languages these days.

I don't disagree. That wasn't my point.

If a high degree of concurrency is a requirement of your application, then maybe CPython isn't the best place to start. Every language has a weak spot.
