[Jython-dev] Pretty cool

[John A. T. <jt...@co...>]

We have developed a machine controller written in Java (with real-time
portions in C++), and are looking for a good language that allows scripting
our application. We have found Jython to be great for this, in general, but
have some performance concerns. Currently, we call
"InterativeConsole.push(String)" to download our code (including functions),
line by line to the Jython environment. Then we can invoke the functions
just by calling the function name. When I load a Jython function, does it
get interpreted to some intermediate form that executes faster, or is every
line always parsed every time it is executed?

Also, we find that our functions can have no full line comments; if they do,
when we push the comment line, it interprets it as an "end of function".

Is there any list that we can subscribe to for Jython users?
