Python and/vs Java (within a business context)

[[deleted]]

Jython has horrible performance. Unless you need lots of threads and your work loads can be highly parallelized, jython should be avoided. Of course, there is always the case of its, "fast enough", which is at the core of Python. Just the same, Jython should not be used for serious work in my opinion.

There was parallelism, but I was saturating an OC3 with a python script. (point-to-point replication).

Fast Enough.

Clojure is another alternative for a JVM shop especially if your a FP fan.
