When will Python go mainstream like Java?

[Martin P. Hellwig]

Actually I am still waiting for Java to be mainstream :-)
You could say it is popular, which it is without doubt but in my opinion 
after C handed over it's pseudo de facto standard (mostly because a lot 
of OS'es are written in it) nobody else has had enough momenta to reach 
for that crown.

Actually I quite like the soup of languages these days, what amuses me 
though, that Python seems to emerge as the de facto glue language to 
bind them all :-)
