Gain [easy] access to Java libraries? Also, with Java possibly being
deployed more widely than Python (looking at users of software, not
developers). It might in some cases make sense to target the JVM
instead of requiring an installation of Python. This makes Scala[1] at
least mildly interesting if one wants to experiment with functional
programming and be able to deploy to a wide user-base. Some may also
be intrigued by compile once run everywhere (no need for anyone to
pick this statement to pieces).
