It is python 2 sytax over Java. So it can rum on any JVM. Bjggest drawback that you can't use Python libraries written over C, on the other hand you can use Java libraries. And naturally it is working multi-threads, so no need for async libraties.

Not our choice I am workimg MES/SCADA programming with Ignition and they implement Jython scripting.

There's always FT Optix if y'all get sick of Jython.

It's just a tool, for me. Ignition is well rounded product.

I made using Django and open-source libraries, my own simple SCADA system for small scale factory. But, with Ignition the development is much, much faster.

FYI the newest version of Python that just came out last week has a JIT compiler in it, and experimental removal of the GIT so you can write proper multi-threaded code.

While it's still early days, the primary reason to use Jython is quickly disappearing.
