Subject: Re: Compiled version of Ruby

Bruce Tate in his book "Beyond Java" argues that Ruby would benefit a
lot if it ran on top of the Java VM, e.g., the JRuby project. The
benefits would include years of effort to optimize performance and
easy access to Java libraries. On the other hand, a Ruby-specific VM
could be tuned for the specifics of the language.

Has anyone analyzed the pros and cons of these two approaches?
