I have used JPython (that's where the orginal quote that started this
message came from). My point is that I think implementation via Java is
a good idea and I am wondering if that is being considered for the
future of CPython. ie. abandoning the CPython implementation as the
main Python and adopting a Java implementation instead (reversing the
status of CPython and JPython).
