Java - Monstrous language that was Sun's flagship language. Now, it's Oracles. Python - Hobby-ish hacking language that we all love so much (that we wish everything was written using Python). Java - The JVM code been hacked to death by Sun engineers (optimised) Python - The PVM code has seen speed-ups in Unladen or via Pyrex.. ad-infinitum but nowhere as near to JVM I like both Python and Java but given the amount of resources put into JVM and Java (JEE is _huge_ in Enterprise if you didn't know that already and there are universities that speak Java fluently), it's kind of sad that Python till the day hasn't seen speedup in mainline releases. I see Python more as a hacker's language which will gradually evolve and support SMEs and alike in the long run than Java (and of course we write our weekend-only hacking projects in it :-) but for a market-uptake like Java requires universities, colleges and students to learn this wonderful little language and requests energetic hackers to fix lock-contention issues and the like in the core implementation. Perhaps I see a light, perhaps I see nothing.. but I feel the day is coming nearer when Python would run as fast as Java/C. Only time can tell - I hope the time is right about this. -- Regards Ishwor Gurung Key id:0xa98db35e Key fingerprint:FBEF 0D69 6DE1 C72B A5A8 35FE 5A9B F3BB 4E5E 17B5 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
