>> Now, with that in mind, I heard a long time ago, and it might be utter BS that Jython is way behind JRuby in terms of community, and very fairly, not as performant or robust bc there are only so many eyes for shallow bugs. Is this true?
JRuby has Charles Nutter. No disrespect to Frank, but Nutter has really been a champion for dynamic langauges on the JVM, out in front, pushing all the time (JEP-191).
- Twirrim 11y agoAgreed. I have to say, for the most part I keep running in to issues with Jython which I don't with JRuby. Note that Jython has focussed on language compatibility, and that doesn't include stdlib compatibility. That's where almost all my frustrations with it have come. Stuff just doesn't quite behave the same. Plus a number of major libraries, like Twisted, won't work on it for what on the surface seem to be bizarre reasons (https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/3413#comment:41 https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/3413#comment:41 was the state of play 9 months ago and isn't changed now, you can see other conversation around problems with Twisted here http://bugs.jython.org/issue1521 http://bugs.jython.org/issue1521)
- 616c 11y agoWell this has been the most detailed view into real-world attempts I have read so far, Twisted being a few steps more complex than Django I imagine. Thanks for the detail.
