[pypy-dev] [ANN] Python compilers workshop at SciPy this year

[John Camara]

Hi Nathaniel,

I would like to suggest one more topic for the workshop. I see a big need
for a library (jffi) similar to cffi but that provides a bridge to Java
instead of C code. The ability to seamlessly work with native Java
data/code would offer a huge improvement when python code needs to work
with the Spark/Hadoop ecosystem. The current mechanisms which involve
serializing data to/from Java can kill performance for some applications
and can render Python unsuitable for these cases.

John
