    I'm not evangelising Java here, but...you are aware that you can
    download and view the complete java source, aren't you? (the only
    thing excluded is the native source for the JVM implementations;
    there are times when this is disadvantageous - e.g. if you're coding
    very high-performance apps and need to check *precisely* how the JVM
    handles/optimizes certain situations...although you'd often need a
    lot of domain-specific knowledge to be able to deduce much from the
    source code - but in general it's not an issue)
    
    The point is that Java is particularly good at fulfilling WORA,
    partially due to a history of over-promising and under-delivering,
    and then Sun etc having to work hard to try and undo the
    reputational damage. E.g. in my own experience, it's nice to have a
    modern asynch I/O library that is transparently cross-platform,
    sharing a common API. No worries about which platforms your specific
    asynch libs are available for...
    
    WORA seems too minor a reason alone to pick a particular language,
    so this isn't a reason to use Java rather than Python, but just so
    long as you're making a valid comparison...
