On a proper x86 chip, it's *a lot* faster - http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32q/fastest.php?d=ndata&calc=calculate&javasteady=on&python=on I suspect it's still faster on the Arm chip, but you'd have to run your own numbers to be sure. I also suspect that the security model for java is a bit easier to contain with multiple applications running. You can do a certain amount of development with ASE in python (or perl, lua, jruby, bash). You don't get access to everything, but for small things it is probably enough to play around with. -Sean -- __________________________________________________________________ Sean Dague Mid-Hudson Valley sda...@gmail.com Linux Users Group http://dague.net http://mhvlug.org There is no silver bullet.
