[Zope-dev] Re: [Zope] Zope in Jpython

[J. Atwood, on Wed, 29 Mar 2000] :: I know this is probably a hot topic and will be much debated but have you :: guys at DC looked into this? Are there reasons why this is a good idea? Bad :: idea? It seems like a natural way to increase the performance of Zope while :: keeping all the power of OO and Python. Last I heard, JPython runs at roughly 50% the speed of CPython, so I don't see how such a switch could result in a performance increase. Since Jim Fulton has written key Zope extensions in C, I'd suspect a JPython Zope would be correspondingly more than 50% slower. JPython is cool as a scripting language for Java, but wasn't, I believe, ever intended as a standalone programming language for large development projects.
