[Cython] Pi in the sky: Alternate back-end?

[Magnus Lie Hetland]

Hi!

I'm not really suggesting this as project in the near future -- just  
thought I'd hear if it would even be viable. That is, supplementing  
the current C generating code in Cython with (e.g.) Java generating  
code (with the Java code to be used in concert with Jython). This way  
it would be possible to write high-performance code in the Cython  
language/dialect and use it both with CPython and Jython (and, to some  
extent, in C and Java).

As I haven't looked at the innards of Cython (nor those of Jython,  
really) I don't know how large a task this would be. Just musing.
