#Yeah... big advantage IMHO. You can program using Basic, C++, C#, Java, #Pascal, Cobol, etc. and have it run on Linux... In the old Java platform, #you are restricted to use Java to program... We hate restrictions, don't we? #
Actually, the same is true with the Java platform; as long as the higher level language compiler produces (correct) Java byte code, it should be able to run under the JVM. This is clearly demostrated by Jython where Python code a compiled to produce Java byte code.. Furthermore, the resulting Jython Java bytecode can coexist, and even reference each other in the same JVM instance. I'm a greenhorn with Python; I'm learning it as a complementary tool for Java. stay cool.. jeff -- -- Jeff Gutierrez Mapua Online! http://www.mapua.org http://www.mapua.com http://www.mapua.net Pinoy Ako!
