Well, I guess it was probably the lack of interest on how to integrate it
better with java (which to be fair was probably quite some work as no one
stepped to do it -- even though I think it might have been less work than
the amount of work to keep Jython itself moving forward, but I may be
wrong).

As for becoming a Jython competitor, I agree (from what I remember from
that time, the idea was that Jython devs joined PyPy devs and the actual
supported version would be the one based on PyPy).

But it seems it didn't go through... well, C'est la vie :)
