I wonder what lead to JRuby attracting support while Jython not? I know the Jython creator went on to other things (was it eg IronPython for dotnet?). I suppose it was the inverse with dotnet - eg IronPython surviving while IronRuby seems dead.
Is it just down to corporate sponsorship?
- empthought 3y agoTwitter used JRuby and invested heavily for a time.
- brightball 3y agoJRuby has been pretty actively maintained for about 15 years and had a big release this year. It’s an impressive project.
- krylon 3y agoI looked into it a long time ago (~10-12 years?), and was disappointed JRuby could not use extensions written in C. It's not surprising in retrospect, for obvious reasons, but has there been some progress in this area?
