Subject: Re: What would you like to know about JRuby?

I would greatly appreciate some general overview of the internals. Are
ruby files compiled into bytecode and then executed or java is invoked
to execute code line by line. If the first option is possible how do
you handle dynamic typing issues. Are any code optimizations applied
to ruby code?

Thanks
