Frank Wierzbicki and Ted Leung have been hired by Sun. Frank is a key Jython developer and is specifically hired to work full time on Jython, a version of the Python interpreter that runs on top of the JVM and provides full access to Java libraries. After a period where the development had slowed, Jython was recently getting seriously back on track. Now it's getting even better !
Don't wait too much ... Jython is very useful RIGHT NOW if you live in the Java Universe.
