I wrote an online securities trading system in Java, with a little Jython. Java is reasonably good at stability, but I find it unappealing for other reasons, especially for prototyping. Kotlin might be okay.
Jython no longer works with basically any current Python libraries because it never made the leap to Python 3, and the Python community stigmatizes maintaining Python 2 compatibility in your libraries. This basically killed Jython, and from my point of view, Jython was one of the best things about Java.
- mike_hearn 1y agoNote that Jython was replaced by GraalPy, which does target Python 3
- kragen 1y agoI hadn't heard about GraalPy! Thanks for the note.
