Does anyone know if it is possible to write JRuby android applications? It would seem a natural fit given Java etc etc. I do relate to the comment ""If, like me, you'd rather eat glass than sit down to write some Java code" so I have been looking for a better way to do it. Though, I have lately resigned myself to the fact that I may well have to write Java again...
As an aside...does anyone have experience with PhoneGap or Appcelerator? Wondering about experiences with those approaches (both positive and negative).

- rpeden 15y agoYou might want to check out Ruboto. I haven't used it yet, but it seems to allow you to do exactly what you want, i.e. write full Android apps using JRuby. I've heard there's a significant performance penalty, though. http://ruboto.org/ http://ruboto.org/ I've also heard of people having success using Mirah to write Android apps. The syntax is very similar to Ruby, so it will be comfortable for you. It compiles to a straight Java class with no runtime dependencies, so you don't get the performance hit you run into with Ruboto. http://www.mirah.org/ http://www.mirah.org/
- imd 15y agoWTF? In the Mirah examples, I see a bunch of i = 0 while i < 10 ...code... i += 1 end There's no for loop? I couldn't confirm because I didn't find a manual.
