I'm really looking for "Syntactic Sugar for Java" to create Java apps faster. I have some really nice game libraries written in Java. I'd like to write a game in Jython using these libraries. The Jython interpreter is fine during development and testing (in fact it's great because I can make changes to game logic and view the changes without re-compiling). The final "release" version of the game however, should be a stand-along Java bytecode application, so it runs at maximum speed and can be deployed via Web-Start. It would be nice to be able to compile this app into bytecode and run it like: $ java myApp or $ java -cp someJythonJar; myApp // <-- Groovy works this way I'm looking into Groovy right now and I intend to check out JRuby as Roger suggested. I'm already well versed in Python and really like it's syntax, which is why I posted this message. Note: I did notice how well integrated JRuby is with NetBeans, which makes me think that Roger may be correct about Sun's aversion to Python. Why this is, I have no idea - it's a great language. -etrek ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan Kennedy" <jyt...@xh...> To: "Roger Marquis" <ma...@ro...> Cc: "Frank Wierzbicki" <fwi...@gm...>; <jyt...@li...> Sent: Saturday, May 24, 2008 9:36 AM Subject: Re: [Jython-users] In Jython2.3 jythonc will go away,so what about applets or stand alone apps > [Roger] >> In my experience it is the bytecode that most developers want, and > > I disagree: running programs are what developers want, in my experience. > > [Roger] >> the >> difficulty integrating Jython bytecode into Java projects is the "missing >> link" that is preventing Jython from being a killer app. > > I think you need to be more specific here. > > I've integrated jython into all kinds of java servers, including > Tomcat, Resin, etc, Apache Axis, Apache James, Spring, etc, and it > always went smoothly. > > See the java portion of modjy, the Servlet->WSGI adapter, for an > example of how easy it is. > > http://www.xhaus.com/modjy > > Regards, > > Alan. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft > Defy all challenges.
