Subject: Re: jruby <=> prime time?

JRuby can be almost as fast as Java.  So basically if you think Java
is fast enough for writing your server, then JRuby *should* be fast
enough.

Given the latest release of BSF (bean scripting framework), the
following languages can also be used on the JVM with little effort

- js
- ruby
- beanshell
- judoscript
- python
- nice
- pnuts
- Kawa (scheme on Java, doesn't use bsf)
+ more I can't remember now :)

Bottom line, if Java would be fast enough, then most of the above
would be fast enough - the JRuby devs are probably lurking around here
and can give you a more informed delta for the difference in execution
of 'normal' Java vs JRuby

Thanks,
