What are the limitations which you are referring to.

For the most part it depends on what your task is.

jruby is not a dud (whatever that means)... It's used in the "real
world" the same as ree and mri (et al)

Rails runs on jruby. Why would you think it doesn't? Rails is just a
program written in ruby.

And since you asked:

Personally I don't want the "comprehensive features in Java". But that
doesn't mean that you don't. What I want (which I have) is the
comprehensive syntax inspired from SmallTalk with the eloquence and
simplicity of the UNIX shell with the programmable programming
language of Lisp.

Either way. Without explaining what the actual issue your having with
(outside of your google rumors) no one here will be able to help with
your specific edge case.  Hit up the jruby people and have them help
you with creating wrappers for the cargo of "missing features from
java" for your application stack.
