All abstractions leak, of course. When you code for money, it's all
about productivity gained and lost. But dealing with a visibly leaking
programming language when you have contracts, deadlines, etc was a very
painful experience in past, so I try to avoid it.

Having said that, I have tremendous respect for the people who are
building Jruby. It's just that they have an unfinished product that  has
to meet very high expectations.

Yes, my mistake.
