- norman784 2y agoJRuby is far behind CRuby, so there are a lot of gems that you can't use, also there are not too many companies investing in JRuby itself, IMHO CRuby it's a safer bet.
- mdaniel 2y agoI believe TruffleRuby <https://github.com/oracle/truffleruby https://github.com/oracle/truffleruby> is the state of the art for Ruby on the JVM, and <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33503622 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33503622> says that Mastodon works on it, so that's one data point. I haven't worked up the emotional energy to try to get GitLab to run on it
- ericb 2y agoI was in a large org that did this for a while. It was extremely painful to be this far off the beaten path. When you stay in the well trod C Ruby path, you benefit from the hordes of others who cleared the landlines before you. With JRuby, not so.
