Foreword by Pat Eyler
???Hey, you got your Ruby in my Java!???
???You got your Java on my Ruby!???
I??™m not going to claim that JRuby is as delicious as a Reese??™s Peanut Butter Cup, but it sure has
been a real treat watching Ola and his codevelopers work on JRuby. They??™ve taken an incomplete,
niche Ruby environment (and subcommunity) and turned it into something that is
pushing the whole Ruby community in a number of different ways.
Some time ago, Tim Bray was lamenting the lack of solid programmer tools (things like a
powerful IDE, a refactoring browser, etc.) in the Ruby world. At the time, I took the stance that
they hadn??™t really been developed because the Ruby community was able to do without them.
With the advent of JRuby, though, NetBeans and Eclipse have really begun to gain momentum
and are starting to produce the kinds of tools Tim was pining for into the Ruby space. I think a
lot of this came to pass because JRuby drew Java developers with Tim??™s same desire for tools
into the Ruby world.
