Subject: Doubts about Ruby and JRuby

Hi all,

Right now, I'm very busy, but sometimes, I need to disconnect of all my
day tasks.

From some time ago, I would like to learn Ruby (I like smalltalk a lot,
and Ruby is very similar), and this could be a good moment. I'm
developing an application in a closed source enviroment, and I'm
thinking, develop it in Ruby too in parallel (when have time) to learn
it.

My main question, is, thath I readed thath is not possible to get
something equivalent to .pyc files in Python. This is not a problem when
you develop an opensource project, but if is not opensource, could be a
problem.

I readed with JRuby you can get something like a .pyc/.jar/"compiled"
file (I'm not sure, for this reason I'm here). And access to the vast
Java libraries, could be interesting.

Then... Is good idea, to use JRuby for Desktop closed source
applications instead Ruby MRI? For other type of projects, opensource
for example, is better Ruby 1.9 performance than JRuby? Am I mixing
concepts?

The application I'm developing right now, is a little desktop closed
source ERP for a customer. I need to develop a website too, with a
customers area to make invoices, and this web and ERP needs to be
communicated.

Thanks for your time.

Regards.

P.S.: Sorry for my english
