JRuby Interview (Part 2) (On Ruby)
Here's part
2 of an interview with the developers of JRuby. "Charles,
you've mentioned 'Rubifying' some existing Jave tools and libraries. Can
you give us some examples? Charles: A large part of our focus has
been trying to fit Ruby into a Java-centric world. There are countless
libraries and frameworks out there in Java-land...libraries that would be
very useful for Ruby applications like Rails. However the effort required
to hand-wrap those libraries in a Ruby lib is sometimes prohibitive; the
set of interfaces provided in the Java code can be extensive and not
particularly "Rubyish". We seek to make accessing those libraries
simpler."
