After reading about Sun hiring some Jython developers I decided to install it myself under Debian testing to see what all the fuss is about. As a big Python fan a world without the GIL (Gloabl Interpreter Lock) of CPython sounds just lovely.
After installing it I had a little poke about, along the way I hit upon this lovely gem.
iain@hostname ~>file `which jython`
/usr/bin/jython: perl script text executable
Shocking results! luckily its just a Debian wrapper script but theres a certain amount of irony involved thats for sure.
