Aren't they "rushing" for years? The last update of the Jython news
page is from march 2005. This is not very encouraging even if there is
a secret life of Jython. But maybe we shouldn't worry because we can
still read:

"Jython, lest you do not know of it, is the most compelling weapon the
Java platform has for its survival into the 21st century:-)"

I would eventually forget Jython completely and select a bridge like
JPype and ask for use cases and expected interaction between both
languages.

But you can't compile a Python module into a dotNet library that is
used from C# which is the very essence of the CLR. IronPython is not
more usefull than PythonNet.
