One nice thing about Python is that you can make a piecewise transition from Python -> C, as it is fairly trivial to wrap C code for use in Python. On the other hand, Java's C interface system JNI is pretty much universally reviled.

The same can be said about R. Rcpp makes it super easy for you to drop right into C++ for bits of code that need that level of performance.
