Keep in mind that Ruby and Python are close enough in style, that any improvements those guys make will also benifit Jython. Also, they haven't been hired to work exclusively on JRuby. They were also hired to look at tools to help with programming with dynamic languages. In this regard, they can help not only Jython, but Python itself! All in all a very good thing to see a high-profile company invest in dynamic languages. Steve Menard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
