+1 to Groovy.
Can be very simple and elegant, like a better Python, on the JVM.
But also very rigorous, as a Java superset, with powerful features like mixing dynamic and static compilation in the same class.
Or even deep, with run-time metaprogramming and compile-time AST manipulation capabilities (giving tools like Gradle, Spock...).
And you have of course multiline interpolated Strings. And so much.
