Au contraire...JRuby aims to be the best Ruby possible on the JVM. If 
that ultimately means we solve some issues (threading, performance, 
unicode, scaling) before/better than the C implementation, so be it. But 
it will still be Ruby, and we intend to run all the same apps unmodified 
(or as close to unmodified as possible).
