Warning: python is a interpreted language. It's slower than what you can do
with a C or C++ compiler.
Java is a semi-interpreted language: much slower than C.

You can choose languages such as python or java if you're only working on
_small_ pictures (memory problems) and if your image computations are not to
complicated (python and java are slower).

The only reasons you should prefer Python or Java to C is the learning time
(time you spend to learn how to program), and the developpement time (it takes
more time to write C and Java than Python). (there's also an issue of
portability, but I don't know if you cares).
