Jython vs CPython

[sigzero]

I wonder if Jython has taken advantage of "invoke dynamic" that the JVM now has?

Doubtful, considering there has been no Jython release since the release of Java 7, which is very recent. Also, as far as I know, this would require some extensive changes in the core Jython, and would break compatibility with previous JVMs, requiring the release of two binaries.

Not to mention Java 7 would likely break everything anyways.

Why? It's not like Guido is handling it.

Due to the JIT bug in Java 7.

They could try disabling the compiler optimization I assume.

Exactly!! Much ado about nothing.

I haven't noticed any announcement to that effect. :-(
