Dangerous Ideas

Wow, I’m impressed. It looks like Sreamlined will run on JRuby. This follows Charles Nutter’s post about getting Rails to run on JRuby.

I’ve never tried JRuby, so I don’t know how good it is, but just hearing that people have gotten some Rails and Streamlined applications running, even if they’re simple, is pretty impressive. I hadn’t realized how far along JRuby was. Charles’ post says that they can connect to some databases that Rails can’t right now (courtesy of JDBC). This opens up a lot of possibilities … Maybe if this goes well, certain elements of the Java and Ruby camps will fight a little less, too. ;-)
