FYI: I've used python for years primarily on *nix platforms and primarily for web programming. I'm considering studying a scripting language that uses and accesses java. My first obvious choice would by jython. The following questions could probably be answered by pointers to previous discussions, docs or blogs.
1)What can jython *do* that cannot be done by python. 2)What is the current state of jython as a development community? I.E. is it being upgraded, updated etc. 3)Is the jython community "bound to" the python community? I.E. I don't think python is going to "go away", what happens if jython development "stalls". 4)If someone in this community would consider a java scripting language other than jython, what would it be? And why? 5)Are there issues installing and deploying jython on shared webservers? I.E. Assuming that a dedicated server is one that I have full access to and can install what I please, and a shared server would not afford me such access; is there any trend for "server farms" to install jython?
