    JQuantLib consists on porting a framework written in C++ to Java. It's not merely 'translating' from one language to another, but taking advantage of all features Java is able to offer, adopt current and upcoming technologies, adopt the best practices on documentation and software engineering and taking advantage of parallelism in order to speed up performance, possibly beating the performance of the original C++ code.
