Think Ruby kicks ass? Then imagine Ruby’s power and fun coupled with the plethora of Java libraries: JRuby.

It’s a real jirb (irb which runs in JRuby) session using the open source LemonSMS and RXTX libraries to communicate with my mobile phone. No more need to Ant-build a whole project just to try a few nifty tricks.

JRuby is now approaching version 1.0 and is already able to run most Ruby applications including Rails, and is being used by software development companies like ThoughtWorks. You can even develop Swing GUI applications in Ruby, and all Java libraries should work with JRuby since it’s still “native” Java.

Let me know what experiences you have with JRuby.
