If you’re care so much about Java catching errors at compile time then why

Java's not perfect, but it is powerful and it is pretty much universally
available on z/OS. I'm writing functions for others to build on e.g.:

So using/targeting the language that is most available makes sense.
But my question was: Why Python? What are the reasons for using Python
rather than e.g. Java?
