Jython for BigData

---

I'm an advocate of using Jython for BigData eco-system integration projects.

The main reason is development velocity and productivity clearly established by Python.

Additional justifications...

• Ease of access to all Java library packages. Thus, no vias such as thrift are required.

• For long running programs, Python on the JVM is performant.

• Jython can leverage existing CPython modules.

• Script, test, script, test... no long compiles and builds required.

Drop me a line if you find any of this useful, or if you have any constructive comments or insights.
