Hi Alan, Vicky, I can't make it next week. (I'll be on vacation.)
However, I was struck by Django's support for Jython when Django 1.0 was released. This move suddenly pits Django head-to-head against other web-frameworks targetting the JVM, from pure-Java frameworks like Spring MVC, Struts and Tapestry, to other dynamic language frameworks like Grails & JRuby-on-Rails. This has to be a major boost for Jython (& Django), once the word gets out. Also, I suggest you show examples of Java code making method calls on Jython code and vice versa. The core "market" for Jython must be Java teams. And the key advantage of JRuby, Groovy & Jython is of course that the investment they've made in their existing Java codebase is retained and build on; as the new language can easily integrate with Java code.
