  • On Page 2, bottom of first paragraph:
  As any Java application, Jas3 requires low maintenance and does not have platform-specific installation issues.
    • Doesn't it require a specific version of the JVM/JRE be installed?
  • Jython = CPython 2.7.2
  • Page 2: on FastMath
  The result of this replacement is a factor five faster rendering of objects in ‘‘busy’’ events with a large number of reconstructed tracks when using previous versions of Java (version 8 and below).
  • Page 3: This should probably have been emphasized more
  The reflection mechanism in Java allows writing plugins based on run-time configurable workflows.
  • Figure 2. Results mostly measuring random number generator.
  • End of section 4: Too quick to dismiss numpy.
  • What advantage does GROOT give over PyROOT? (see section 5.6)
  • How is HiPPO better than ROOT? (aside from being easily* integrated with EVIO)
