I've been excited about this for a while, any word when this becomes part of the default in jruby?

  It's available in 9.0.4.0 today, but I wouldn't advise using it yet. We hope to be running Rails in 2016 though.

    My words are not enough to express how grateful I am as a Ruby user to you and your work! Amazing results! Hats off and may you have a bright career. What I wanted to ask is, excluding Rails and big projects which understandably aren't the target yet, is 9.0.4.0 already theoretically able to achieve the said "up to an an order of magnitude" speed increase? Again, thanks! This will be probably contemplated among the most important milestones ever in the Ruby language history!

      Across the 63 benchmarks we track we are on average over 30x faster than MRI, over 22x faster than JRuby, over 30x faster than Rubinius, and over 16x faster than Topaz (Ruby using PyPy). These are our benchmarks - some classic VM research benchmarks and some kernels from real Ruby applications (like Chunky PNG and PSD.rb) - you may care about different benchmarks and want to measure in a different way to us etc etc etc http://jruby.org/bench9000/ http://jruby.org/bench9000/
