    ...multi-threaded. Neither Perl nor Java was chosen as the solution at the time. Perl was not considered to be as robust. Java did not allow control over the core interpreter. The language was subject to the quirks of the particular Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on each system. Although a JRE could have been bundled with the product, it would have substantially bloated the size of the download. Python reference counting was found to be superior to Java garbage collection, especially in a...

    Python Success Stories Background The Molecular Modeling Toolkit (MMTK) is a open source Python library for molecular modeling and simulation with a focus on biomolecular systems, written in a mixture of Python and C. It provides standard techniques such as Molecular Dynamics or normal mode calculations in a ready-to-use form, but also provides a basis of low-level operations on top of which new techniques can easily be implemented.

    ...multi-threaded applications which try to be highly responsive, response time will increase by some (perhaps imperceptible) amount. When multiplying very large integers, a version of the so-called Karatsuba algorithm is now used. This is most effective if the inputs have roughly the same size. If they both have about N digits, Karatsuba multiplication has O(N**1.58) runtime (the exponent is log_base_2(3)) instead of the previous O(N**2). Measured results may be better or worse than that, depe...
