[Jython-users] JythonServlet over Java Servlet

[<Ale...@di...>]

I was just looking at the examples of JythonServlet, and I was wondering:
why would you want to use jython to create the servlet, instead of using
java ? I mean that it doesn't save you any of the steps that you have to go
through when creating a java servlet, but rather you just have to use
python syntax to accomplish the stuff that you otherwise would do in java
(which sometimes feels a little awkward: to type java code, with the java
libraries etc. with python syntax) .

 I love the integration of Jython and Java, and I like that I can do stuff
(e.g. using all the java libs in jython, extending ) that I otherwise
wouldn't be able to do in CPython (since I am not much into C++ -> I could
read it but I doubt I could produce anything beyond basic stuff ) , but I
didn't see the value that jython adds to a servlet.

Would anybody give me a perspective on this ?
