Sure one can use Py2C. But with Java you get dynamic compilation of
|
|
all your code with no need to use some auxiliary program like Py2C.
|
|
cf. HotSpot.

Techically you are correct that C is statically typed. But my post
|
|
clearly implies that I am interested in strong static typing. That
|
|
is type systems that ensure that code cannot have type errors at
|
|
runtime. You cannot do this in C. You can't quite do it in Java yet
|
|
either, but I am confident that will be so in the future via the
|
|
facilities for parametic polymorphism.

Have you ever used Swing for anything? It is much cleaner that Tkinter
|
|
for example. It has a huge range of widgets, etc -- much more than
|
|
other toolkits. etc. etc. Sure there are bugs etc but Java is a new
|
|
product. Give it a few years and they will have gone away.

At this point it's the end of the thread for me. I was making a

|
serious suggestion that Python's use could be improved by pig

backing off the hype for Python. And you ...
