Hello, In response to the Viva Scripting Language for Java of the Year 2004 poll (see http://jroller.com/page/viva) Mike Johnson wrote in to tell me about an alternative Python scripting language project for Java that he created called Jep (Java Embedded Python). Mike writes: Jep embeds CPython in Java. It is safe to use in a heavily threaded environment, it is quite fast and its stability is a main feature and goal. Some benefits to this approach: - Although Python isn't blazingly fast, it may mean a massive speed improvement over Java-based languages. - Python is mature so authors needn't fear the interpreter will suddenly change widely-used features. - Access to the high quality Python modules, both native and Python-based. - Compilers and assorted Python tools are as mature as the language. - Python is an ideal language for your business logic. It is easy to learn, eminently readable and generally immune to programming gotchas. More @ http://jepp.sourceforge.net and http://sourceforge.net/projects/jepp Let us know what you think about Jep? Is it a viable alternative to Jython? - Gerald ------------------- Gerald Bauer XUL Alliance | http://xulalliance.org XUL News | http://xulnews.com ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca |
