I don't understand your question. PyPy doesn't do anything with Java. In principle you could use PyPy's underlying toolchain to build a Java compiler, similar to the Python, Prolog and PHP compilers already made, but nobody has done so for Java so far as I know. http://morepypy.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/hello-everyone.html Or do you mean, how does PyPy compare with <insert name of Java compiler here>? I don't know. There are some old benchmarks here: http://attractivechaos.wordpress.com/2011/04/25/my-programming-language- benchmarks-plb/ but the person doing the benchmarks is by his own admission not a skilled Python programmer. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
