Cygnus Java Compiler and JPython
Having just seen the announcement for the "Cygnus GNU Compiler
Java(tm) Edition (GCJ)" I immediately wondered if anyone here has
tried compiling JPython with it yet? Sounds like an interesting
experiment... If it works any thoughts on the speed vs. CPython?

A story on the GCJ announement can be seen at:

The GCJ assumes that the entire program will be compiled, i.e. no
bytecode interpreter... Doesn't JPython use dynamic compilation into
bytecode as a part of its Python interpretation?
