Comment on Ask HN: Python vs. Java - runtime performance

Comments

If you're worried about this, you should use Jython. It gives you access to the JVM optimizer (which is awesome) and all 10,000,000 existing java libs with interop.

Native Java libraries on the JVM accessed from Jython are unlikely to be any faster than C libraries accessed from CPython. Of course, YMMV.
