Isn't the java ecosystem more vast though? I found that even though python has a ton of libs for everything most of them are unmaintained. And I'd rather not write lots of C bindings myself :/

Java is at least a close second. Very generally speaking, I've found that Java has a slightly better ecosystem when it comes to more 'enterprise' solution, while python is slightly better on the science and engineering front. Also, python is the standard scripting language in just about every application I run into so, if for no other reason, I wouldn't want to give on a python just because of that.
