I agree. However keep in mind that the C++ API from IB only works
under windows. For other operating systems, IB only offers a Java
API.
The Jython FAQ also says that native Python (also called CPython) is
twice as fast as Jython. It's also slower to start up.

"Not vice versa" is important. For the differences between Jython and
Python, see http://jython.sourceforge.net/docs/differences.html

True. It may also be possible to port the C++ API to some other OS.
