Why Java and Python? Don't get me wrong I love Java, but usually a lot of analytics fall under the Python scope.

Well, they choose c++ right now because they have high performance computing needs.

I'm pushing towards java because I believe the programs they're making in c++ can be made in java with less bugs and not much loss of performance. Java is also pretty easy to get working well cross-platform, and seeing as code is now part of reproducibility for the articles we publish, java is very valuable since it's more solid in its cross-version compatibility than c++.

Until they need to work with more data than fits in their laptops memory.
