JRuby then is Ruby taking advantage all of the resources that have been poured into Java over the last ~10 years and could be a good way to push Ruby (from a developer’s perspective) into more places.

I’m sure in their mind the ideal combination would be the syntax and development philosophy of Ruby combined with the relatively matured VM and libraries of Java.

However, we’ll see.

What does JRuby allow you to do? that plain old Ruby doesn’t? Examples help a lot.
