the point of using python? ML libraries! that's the 99% case of python-only case.

Other than that, I actually don't know... a lot of other languages now have interpreted-dev envs...

(btw, I'd rather use Kotlin than java --- it's like Java++)

Even there, many of those libraries are written in C, Fortran and C++.

On can use any bindings to those libraries, including using modern versions of Fortran and C++ directly.

Not necessarily ML, more generally - numeric, as in NumPy/scipy/pandas, variety of optimisers, plotting and reporting tools and whatnot.

This is the only reply to my question that makes sense, thanks!

All of the other replies are subjective.
