Here are my strongly opinionated opinions :

most java apps are bloated and slow
(compare j3d with vpython for just one example)
| 2. simplicity (readability and writeablity)
| 3. orthogonality
| 7. abstraction facilities (data and procedural)
python is many many times better
| 4. definiteness (syntax and semantics)
I don't know what you mean here.
| 5. reliability
| 6. program verification (correctness)
These are depedent on the programmer. I can make both good and bad
programs in any language.
| 8. portability
see #2, unless you want to run in a web browser (can you find java on
an amiga or other non-mainstream systems?)
