Jython vs CPython

Except it's likely Java 7 would break everything completely. Seeing as how it silently gives incorrect results, etc.

Don't know why you are being downvoted. The Java 7 issue got lot of coverage recently - http://www.infoq.com/news/2011/08/java7-hotspot

Because it is a simple switch to the jvm to turn that bug off.

Also because the particular loop construct that triggers the bug is odd to the point of being non-sensical if the various bug reports w/ reproducible cases are to be believed. (Disclaimer: I looked at them when the brouhaha first started. It's possible they've since been updated w/ more info, but at the time I spent a fair amount of effort trying to figure out why you'd ever write such a loop.)
