If you're running a Rails app or something in JRuby, I'd agree with you. However, I was thinking of something along the lines of the app I'm currently developing with Swing and Monkeybars, where almost every Ruby class has at least one call to a Java class, and often more. That really does start to feel like writing Java in Ruby. I do understand the conceptual difference between Java and JVM bytecode, though. > The JVM has alot going for it: fantastic > performance, rich set of libraries, everything runs it, threads that > run in parallel, etc. I don't see any of those benefits for trying to > get Ruby interoperability with PHP. Everything runs it, every host has it... ...but seriously, it was more of a devil's advocate question.
