JRuby, with efforts by him and sepearate work by others, has shown that jokes aside, porting successful languages or language styles to Java (JRuby, Clojure, Scala, and others) has real benefits.  I mean even if you hate Java&amp;#x2F;JVM stuff, you can use paradigms and tools, partially or completely, on a stack you hate.  For some of us that is a godsend, and I think it shows how cool open source programming is, where people are porting whole runtimes and languages to mix-match for their pleasure.&lt;p&gt;Now, with that in mind, I heard a long time ago, and it might be utter BS that Jython is way behind JRuby in terms of community, and very fairly, not as performant or robust bc there are only so many eyes for shallow bugs.  Is this true?  I see geovizer and others are making use of it, but others using it to good effect and it is worth their while?&lt;p&gt;I am now studying Java academically, and played with Python for years.  The idea of doing Django-REST-Framework on Jython instead of learning Rails-API for JRuby as trial by fire exercise, at least in my mind, is more appealing.  So anyone know how realistic this is?</text></comment>

I&amp;#x27;ve been using Jython for a few years for a project (called STempo) that uses Java and Python. Jython has been a great bridge between them, we have run into a number of issues in the project but Jython has always been solid. The senior faculty on our project knows Python but not Java and she can happily develop in CPython and it always works fine when I bring it into Java-land (assuming no dependencies written in C have crept in). Bravo and thanks!</text></comment>
