> So you can imagine having your app in Java, but still call Python for something else if you really wanted too.

That's a pretty interesting possibility, I might tinker with this. I don't mind Java, but vastly prefer Python+numpy+scipy for technical computing and algorithmic experimentation. Java for the GUI/platform specific stuff with the creative stuff in Python works well for some side projects that I've done. In those cases, I interfaced them via REST API to a server, then later translated to pure Java.
