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

[Ilmar Wilbers]

This is really not remotely answering your request, but is anyone using 
Jython for high-performance code (or Java, for that matter)? I'm sure 
there is, but could you point me in a direction, i.e. are there any 
numerical modules for Jython as of today? When looking I couldn't really 
find anything.
