Tons of progress on Python and Jython. Sun now has a new Python Developers page, published an Interview with Frank and Ted and started a new Python for NetBeans project. On the implementation front, Jython 2.5 is getting very close to Alpha - Frank is Approaching it, James is Flipping and Realizing it, Colin is happy. And Jython has More Contributors too! |
All of this is generating attention in places like a new InfoQ Article. I think Jython will have a very interesting future; on my side I've always had an interest in Python because the community seems to pay a lot of attention to its evolution; time to give it a try.
|
Further progress on the Jython and Django on GlasFish using WSGI via Modjy. Frank is making good progress (Part I, Part II) and will show the results at C1 (in S297614). |
Frank is collaborating with Jim Baker and Leo who have a related Google SoC project. I'm very interested in the outcome of this project; Python has certainly changed since when I looked at it years ago!
PS. Posts for the last few days have been slow due to preparations for J1, C1, et al.. Will do my best to keep with at least highlights, but we will see.

More progress towards the Scripting on v3 story: Vivek reports success in running his first Jython Servlet on GlassFish v3. Check Vivek's Note for details and complete sources. Early steps, but I'm looking forward to what come out from Vivek and Frank working on this together. |

Python joins the club! Ted and Frank have joined Sun to work on Python and Jython (On the Record, eWeek, Infoworld). They join JRuby and JavaScript and Groovy and Quercus(PHP) - and others! - as part of the non-Java on (J)VM family. |
Welcomes from Vivek, Kuldip, Roman and Rich. I worked briefly with Ted years ago around JAXP, and Frank and I have talked a number of times about Jython and GlassFish. A very strong welcome!
We are committed to making GlassFish the best server-side platform available. We can do a lot with GFv2 and much more with GFv3. By themselves and together with Java EE 6. The future will be very interesting!
Added - Both Frank and Ted have written about why they chose to
