I'm very interested in this, too. There are two things that force me into writing Java code instead of Python code, and they are: 1) The Java plug-in for Web browsers, and 2) The integrated portable fairly capable Swing GUI. These two missing pieces are the big issues for me. Everything else that gets discussed on this list is essentially fiddling with something that's already pretty good (though juicing up the syntax to Perl level sort of annoys me :-). To achieve (1), you need to have a truly effective restricted execution environment. And you may need something like (2), as well. We can talk about (2) some other time :-).
