Nothing against scala, but you can program in Python and get all the goodness of JVM compat by simply running your programs in Jython...

Jython is behind current python implementations. If you're comfortable with being compatible up to python 2.5 then go right ahead. But if you need 2.6 or 2.7 compatibility, Jython is sadly not an option.
