[...] Probably because CPython has *much* 3rd party libraries (and batteries) than does MRI/YARV (the standard Ruby). If you want decent libs, you have to use the Java ones via. Jruby. Also, CPython atleast was faster than the MRI at their times of release. You didn't have to move to the JVM to get decent performance. Also, till about 1.5 years ago, Jython was lagging behind standard Python too much to be really usable. I don't think Jruby was very far away from the standard Ruby (although that might be because of the of the other two reasons above). -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in A little pain never hurt anyone. _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
