Just to be clear, too: By interfacing Java with JRuby, you get a Ruby API that feels like its written by a Java consultant struggling on his first steps to learn Ruby.

While I am impressed how well the integration of JRuby into Java works, Java libraries without a handwritten layer above them still feel very alien. So, you do see Java - a lot, actually.
