I think compiling into java source code is very useful, simply for
political reason. If I can convert Ruby code into Java source, I can
easily impress my boss about the speed that I can program in Java. It is
so significant that I think it will make Ruby easily acceptable for
business usage. While Ruby is more mature (for example, Rite?) no body
need to convert Ruby into Java again.

What do you think?
