It may, it may not. JavaScript and Python are both dynamic, why on in
the other? JavaScript is built into the browsers so thats what we need
to live with.

Rather than do JSython why not simply implement Python, Ruby, or Lua
directly into the browser? Of course it won't happen so its rather moot.
I think most people would vote for Ruby integrating into the browser
rather than Python or Lua. No problems with whitespace based syntax
either.

If you like Python thats great, there is room for lots of personal
language tastes but I really don't see any benefit in reimplementing
Python in JavaScript.

(Of course maybe I've guess wrong and that isn't what JSython is, but
you didn't post a URL so I'm not sure what you are talking about. I
tried Google but the most likely URLs were written in Spanish, which I
can only partially read).

Looks a little skimpy so far.

Hmm, follow the link. Then follow the JSython link to the Google groups
page (written in Spanish) which references back to the original page.

Summary:
Circular linking: Yes.
Content: Zero

What a waste of time and space. Why not post about this when you've
wasted your time re-inventing the wheel? Then we can tell you that
you've reinvented the wheel but your new wheel is slower than the
original wheel (Python in this context) and also slower than JavaScript.

I can't help wondering if the original post was a troll.
