ruby-talk
1

Jruby is a project to provide a Java implementation of the Ruby language and
interpreter.

Jruby 0.8.0 has been released. This version boasts:

- Full support for Ruby 1.8.x grammar (previously was a mix of 1.6 and 1.8)
- Runs RubyForge rubicon test suite (though not all tests pass)
- Almost countless core class/module fixes
- Improved java integration support
- Threading greatly improved

Thanks to all people on the project and mailing lists for making jruby a much
better piece of software.

Here are the results against the TIP of rubicon:

Very very very cool. I thought this project was dead! I check it out about 2 months ago, since I do alot of Java work at the office. I really liked JRuby when I was messing with it. I will have to start messing with it some more!

Wow! Like many other people, I was under impression that JRuby is dead.
Long live JRuby!

Would it be possible to make JRuby a rubygem? Maybe a simple wrapper
script could bootstrap installing the appropiate symlinks into
/usr/local/bin, etc.
