be such a big difference at the beginning.
When you start playing around JRuby will have the advantage that you
can test 1.8 code and 1.9 code by simply providing the --1.9 option to
the interpreter.
Installing Ruby1.8 and Ruby1.9 on the same machine is a major pain.

If you want to build a ship, don’t herd people together to collect
wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to
long for the endless immensity of the sea.
