Any odds the Groovy JSR gets dragged out and shot^W^W^W^W displaced by a
JRuby one? Without aiming to bash Groovy (more), I'd much prefer JRuby
for doing (Cruel and) unusual things onna JVM using DSLs instead of
first-class feature creep.

(Even if, aside from Weird Things, I follow the Beanshell Whenever
Possible policy for impedance mismatch minimisation reasons.)

Speaking of Weird Things, IntelliJ IDEA plugin anyone? Inspecting beans
during a debugger breakpoint using JRuby has a certain ring to it.
Spawning a REPL with module / project classes loaded more so. I've been
pondering getting myself a pet project of General Usefulness to toy
with, except I have no idea where I'd start with this sort of hackery
which involves touching the JVM in all the wrong places.
