The library support for data science with python has improved a lot in the last few months... There are lots of shiny new options for web development, but I think python is gaining momentum rather than losing it for data analysis and scientific programming.
I expect that user base will increase even faster after Wes McKinney's "Python for Data Analysis" book is published.
