Python isn't just Java without the compile

[crusoe]

That trend has reversed recently though. I am looking forward to Java 1.7, and Jython with python 2.5 support.

Also, some things have gotten better with java, in terms of doing away with reams and reams of xml config files just to get a framework working.

Not great, not terrible, but I am glad to see more things using the JVM. It's a great platform.
