But speed was not the only thing happening in the JRuby camp lately :
- 143 issues resolved since JRuby 1.1b1
- Landing of Java port of Oniguruma (Joni)
- Most Posix methods supported (e.g. stat, kill, getuid)
- Latest Rubygems 1.0.1, RSpec 1.1.1, and Rake 0.8.1 gems
- Updated standard library to be Ruby 1.8.6 compatible
more details here
Makes one wonder... with JRuby's speed increases, Java integration (remember Java is everywhere) and a great tooling story... when does JRuby replace Rhino as an alternate pre-packaged language in the JDK? (or the JRE for that matter?)
