Been a Ruby/Rails developer for about 2 years now. I''ve had some experience developing Java apps a few years back. Mostly command line tools to support scheduled tasks...etc. Nothing major. I''ve been somewhat curious about JRuby. Anyone using this platform? Other than being able to talk to Java via Ruby and vice versa, is there any performance gains? Is it really worth it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

yes, I am using it exclusively. performance gain it said there is, but I guess this depends on your application and you have to measure it. if you need to you can mix java. you can run it in servlet engine and get a real multi threaded environment. but mainly I use it in conjunction with GWT and using maven as build tool, so everything seams to be glued together by java. kind of funny: the backend actually is ruby, the frontend is javascript but for build and development I use java. worth it, for me definitely. maybe you find some reasons for you as well, just give it a trial. regards, Kristian On Oct 31, 5:11 pm, MJFuzz <mjaff...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Been a Ruby/Rails developer for about 2 years now.

I find JRuby more of a hassle to use than MRI, though I''m glad it exists for those few cases where it''s necessary.
