And if people want python with java, there's always Jython.
- brokensegue 5mo agojython has been basically unmaintained for quite some time
- sigmoid10 5mo agoWell, they never made the jump to Python 3. But shipping 2.7 interpreters in 2024 was quite an achievement on its own. So their users already know this pain. And from my experience in academia, python 2.7 and java 8 will probably be used for another 20 years before the last machine running that stuff burns out.
- arikrahman 5mo agoJython is unmaintained, I'd recommend Clojure. Use python libraries and code while seamlessly targeting the JVM.
- brian_herman 5mo agoGraal vm has support for python 3 unfortunately it’s funded by oracle.
- wavemode 5mo agoIf it makes you feel any better (it probably doesn't), the development of OpenJDK and the Java language itself is also mostly funded by Oracle
- pjmlp 5mo agoJava is funded by Oracle, all of it. People parrot to use OpenJDK without understanding it is mostly Oracle employees working on it. And if you dislike Oracle, the other minor contributors are Red-Hat, IBM, SAP, Microsoft, Alibaba, Azul,... which for many HNers are the same.
