[Ruby] [Java] Java scripting language ports

I was recently reintroduced to the Python scripting language through a testing tool that uses a Java-based Python interpreter capable of importing regular Java libraries. Jython is currently almost feature complete with Python 2.2 while Python itself is already at 2.4. The difference is not that significant but still.

Anyway, since I've been looking into Ruby and Rails lately, I naturally gravitated towards the JRuby website to check out where the development is going these days. I've been using the RDT Eclipse plugin for a while and knew that at least the last time I looked JRuby was far from up-to-date with the "native" Ruby.

So, what did my sleepy eyes see on the website in the JRuby roadmap?

JRuby 0.8.4 (late March 2006)

Rubygems working
Webrick working
Ruby on Rails working

Exciting. Very exciting. I really hope the JRuby crew can keep up the good work and hit the milestones. Who cares if Apple is about to release their first Intel-Macs when these guys release a Ruby on Rails with Java :)
