chandler and the server projects are totally unrelated from an 
implementation perspective except that they share certain ecosystem-wide 
features and speak well-known protocols to each other.

python was certainly a possibility for cosmo and scooby, but we chose to 
use java instead. why? because java is what i'm good at, and i'm in 
charge of the server projects ;)

seriously tho, the same reasons anybody chooses to write a web 
application or network server in java are the ones that led us to it. 
mature server development platform, lots of available developers, 
previous team experience, etc. i can go into more detail if you'd like, 
but i'm not interested in getting into point-by-point language comparisons.
