As I understand it, Java is declaritive in nature. The assumption
is that classes fix some properties of an object. This just isn't
true in Python, where there are no declarations, and properties
can change on the fly. Thus, to make such a plan work, you would
either have to introduce some Python syntax for wiring down
interfaces and some usage restrictions or find some way to make
the Java VM appear more dynamic.
Not to disregard the idea too much, but why is this interesting to
people? If python is too slow, as one poster said, why address that
issue directly?
