JRuby 10.1.3.0 is going to have some hefty release notes! buff.ly/p6qy8Sz

Exciting levels of activity in the JRuby repo lately! Heavily agent-driven, but our agent-focused docs and our policy of "you must understand your PR" has improved quality immensely. Big improvements coming for fiber scheduling and async. Jump in! buff.ly/IqogKPd

That's right, we've been working on JRuby for over 20 years. My work is now funded by JRuby support contracts via @HeadiusEnts and GitHub Sponsorships (github.com/sponsors/headius). Partner with me to keep this crazy dream alive!

JRuby placed third for lowest latency in the last deployment... Where will it be this round? This and the Roundhouse results show that it's not about the language you or your agents use; it's about using the right tools, frameworks, and design in your chosen language.

Oops, I will actually be speaking at XO Ruby in NYC this SATURDAY, October 10th, at the Metropolitan Pavilion. Will I see you there? buff.ly/fKA2EMQ

I am excited to announce I will be speaking at XO Ruby in NYC this Friday, October 10th, at the Metropolitan Pavilion! XO Ruby events are focused on local Ruby communities, with a dirt cheap, one day, single track setup. Stop by and learn about JRuby! buff.ly/fKA2EMQ

There's a difference between "implement this app/feature" and low-level optimizations, refactorings, or memory/thread-safety improvements. The former is "easy" for AI, but the latter is less tangible and more complex. In my experience, that requires a lot of intervention.

I've pushed a Rails 8.1-compatible activerecord-jdbc-adapter 81.0.pre1 for JRuby + SQLite and it can at least CRUD a scaffold app! I've provided a template here for generating a new app: (rails new -m <template>) buff.ly/uUPEfJn

Top three questions I got at #railsworld: Q: Does Rails work on JRuby? A: Yes, for 20 years now. Q: Didn't JRuby already solve this? A: Yes. Q: Why aren't you speaking here? A: I tried. Ask the organizers.

Hello #railsworld! I'm here at the event running office hours and teaching people how to run Rails on JRuby. Find me in the vendor pavilion and grab a sticker!

Very interesting day of discussions at #railsworld! Introduced a few folks to JRuby, talked with some current users I did not know, even found one shop that only does JRuby. A bit sad to see folks struggling with problems JRuby solves. Hard to get the word out!

It occurs to me now: with the JVM now supporting native function calls and memory via the FFM API, could we not potentially treat it as a C compiler backend?
