This is kind of off-topic, but I've been considering using Python precisely for the "easier to write code" reason, but I want to be cross-platform. I don't see any good way of making sure I have a Python interpreter of the right version with the appropriate libraries (audio, visual, UI, sci-py, etc.) unless I ship everything--libraries and interpreter. Is there a good way of handling that with Python? It seems like Java makes it a lot easier (except that the UI looks so bad I'd be ashamed to ship anything with it).
- jimbokun 18y agoAnother possibility is trying a different JVM language. Jython, of course, tries to implement Python directly on the JVM. Scala and Clojure are two higher level languages (than Java) that run on the JVM with all the deployment advantages and library availability of Java. One of these might be a good way to have your cake and eat it, too. (Doesn't help with the UI, though. :) )
- alnayyir 18y agoI'd be similarly ashamed about the way Java UIs tends to look. GTK bindings or bust I always say.
