I wonder why the Jython presentations were so bad.

The Jython session failed on several points:

* the speaker couldn’t successfully demo anything
* the speaker couldn’t answer most of the questions of the audience, or answers where very shallow: like ‘Q: why jython? A: it is readable! (well…. I’ve programmed python, ruby and groovy… and they are all very readable
* both groovy and jruby managed to get their act together and have a reasonably performing and complete language to offer. Jython is older but lacks both at this moment
