It's worth noting that Clojure is far from the only non-Java language
running on the JVM. That space seems to be getting a lot of activity these
days, most notably (besides Clojure) with Scala, Groovy, and JRuby. The
dynamic-language support planned for the next major JRE release will
likely accelerate this trend.

Yes, but my understanding is that Jython is well behind CPython, with
somewhat slow development. The languages I mentioned are either JVM-only
languages or are current and competitive with the C equivalent.
