Jython -- I don't know. I think Jython is quite a bit slower than CPython (although that may have changed). As for plain Java, sure. I don't know about it being used for numerical stuff (though I'm sure it is), but I know of several people (in research and industry) using it for large-scale search engine work, for example. As far as I can tell, it's quite on par with C for that sort of stuff -- it's really not true that Java is slow anymore. > I'm sure there is, but could you point me in a direction, i.e. are > there any > numerical modules for Jython as of today?

For me, it's more a matter of implementing various structures and algorithms myself (which is what I'm using Cython for right now). If I then want to reuse those structures in a project based on Java, for example, a solution like then one I suggested would be useful. -- Magnus Lie Hetland http://hetland.org _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
