Same here (scala dev / haskell wannabe trying to go remote.) I have a feeling it has to do with the general demographics of those languages users. Python/Ruby/Node positions would be mostly filled by young people working on web stuff (so they're more open to remote work), and Java positions would mostly be in BigCorps with a more traditional organization. But that's just a conjecture. The comment about performance made me chuckle (Most of my colleagues work with PHP)
