Jython 2.7 alpha1 released

In case any Jython devs are reading this, I'd like to also express my delight that Jython isn't dead. In the next few months I'll be expected to recommend a programming language for a large-scale enterprise project, and while Java--sad to say--seems to be the most responsible choice, I'd like to also have a JVM-compatible scripting language waiting in the wings. Glad to see that I'll have more options to evaluate when the time comes.

Out of curiosity, anyone know how it's comparing in speed to JRuby? Fantastic work was done on JRuby - you'd hope many of the findings/techniques find their way into Jython.

I love Jython! and for me is the best combination of two rich library worlds. I use it mainly for scaping together with htmlunit

excellent news, I thought Jython was dead.

Good to see that this project is still going strong.

Many thanks to the Jython developers in case you're reading this.
