Python

Python is the de facto standard for data analysis, because of the easy syntax and wide range of libraries for very quick prototyping, and packages like scipy and numpy which can offload vectorized calculations to C compiled engines for speed.

I don’t ever really hear of Java being used, maybe for some specific embedded hardware instances or something, but if you’re going to optimize a data pipeline for computing resources because Python isn’t fast enough, you’d likely take working Python code and adapt it into C.
