Subject: Re: Sun hires JRuby developers.

And it's worth saying that everyone I've spoken with about Ruby,
JRuby, and dynamic languages in general seems to have the greatest
respect for the communities and applications that have sprung up
around them. In many cases, as with Tim Bray's series of blogs, it's a
pretty Java-agnostic attraction...Ruby the language is Ruby the
language, and they recognize that it's the language that's most
important.

Of course I'm the wide-eyed innocent new employee, but there really
seems to be a lot of excitement about the JRuby move and about dynamic
languages in general at Sun. I think it's going to be a very
interesting year...and if my impressions about this move are off the
mark, I'll do my damnedest to move the mark.
