Looking around I was able to gather a few use cases for Jython at major corporations and corporate products, that I wasn´t previously aware of. The BURP security scanner uses Jython for scripting http://portswigger.net/burp/help/extender.html Jython is used internally by the Vert.x 2 app server, for Python support (see last paragraph) http://vertx.io/vertx2/manual.html Jython is also used by IBM, 1. in its Websphere App Server, for scripting https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#%21/wiki/Tivoli%20Service%20Request%20Manager/page/Jython%20Scripts 2. in Tivoli SRM http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/Redbooks.nsf/ibmpressisbn/9780137009527?Open 3. in Maximo Asset Management Solution http://www.maximopulse.com/2014/08/14/setting-up-eclipse-for-maximo-automation-scripts-jython-programming/ Last year, Oracle added Jython support for spcripting to its FDMEE (Financial Data Quality Management, Enterprise Edition) -previous versions used VBscript http://www.odtug.com/p/bl/et/blogid=1&blogaid=357 Oracle also uses Jython in its Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) http://karanbalkar.com/2013/05/tutorial-26-using-jython-in-odi/ Oracle also uses Jython in RDIC (Remote Intradoc Client) https://blogs.oracle.com/OracleWebCenterSuite/entry/jython_examples_using_ridc Could these be added to the Jython page, under a "Who uses Jython?" link, featured prominently atop the main page? I know Jim Baker maintains a small list of Jython usage cases in his Github account at https://github.com/jimbaker/talks/blob/master/jython-at-rackspace.md I think it´d be great if at the main page we could implement an horizontally scrolling list of logos of all the firms that use Jython, linking to such wiki list it would greatly help increase its visibility and momentum. I volunteer to maintain such list. It's mind blowing that despite all the hard work by Frank, Jim and the rest of the contributors, Jython needs to be continuously countering FUD (Fear, Uncertainly, and Doubt) saying that "it's dead", as for instance in the following Quora question, until I replied with some facts... http://www.quora.com/Is-Jython-alive Just an idea.
