I contributed a bunch of code to the Python generator, but still I think a compiler written in Java makes sense. If we can use JIRA as an indication of activity, the number of issues and contributors in the Java front is greater than in the Python one. > If a rewriting effort is undertaken, I'd just throw out a big +1 to fullly > considering Python in addition to Java. Do you mean writing two compilers (one in Java and the other one in Python)? In that case, it would make more sense to use ANTLR and let it generate parsers in different languages. Cheers.
