Now I'm doing a server in Ruby using green threads (Ruby MRI).
In the future it's possible I try to migrate it to JRuby to use real threads.

Just a question:  Will my code and for now green threads work correctly under 
JRuby and green threads will become OS threads magically? or must I change my 
code to work with OS threads?

Thanks for any explanation.
