    ...classes are more accessible and less dangerous. Terminology-wise, a metaclass is simply "the class of a class". Any class whose instances are themselves classes, is a metaclass. When we talk about an instance that's not a class, the instance's metaclass is the class of its class: by definition, x's metaclass is x.__class__.__class__. But when we talk about a class C, we often refer to its metaclass when we mean C.__class__ (not C.__class__.__class__, which would be a meta-metaclass; th...

Also, Jython and IronPython (see below) support JIT compilation on their respective virtual machine implementations. Python plays well with o...
