Jython Web Client Performance

Question

I am currently creating a Jython web application, but I am concerned about the performance of the Jython application. I am sure that any intensive computing that I can write in a separate Java jar calls them from Jython. Has anyone had a problem with this, or are having problems with this setup?

Answer 1

Here you will find a good comparison: http://blog.dhananjaynene.com/2008/07/performance-comparison-c-java-python-ruby-jython-jruby-groovy/

Jython is slower, but depending on what you want to do, this may not be a big problem. I use Jython primarily to let me debug the application on the fly, and it is great for this.

Answer 2

As always, I would put something together (prototype, etc.) and measure it. I believe that this is the only way you will receive a comprehensive answer.
