Well its fully open source - heck jruby is not even hosted at sun. They simple employ a couple of contributors. There are aplenty of contributors outside sun as well.
- davidw 19y agoSure - Tcl of course kept all the contributions that Sun made. However, when the wind from Sun went out of Tcl's sails, it slowed down a lot.
- michaelneale 19y agotrue - hopefully that won't happen here - seems to be more outside influence for sure.
- plinkplonk 19y agoAt least one of the JRuby committers (Ola Bini) is working for Thoughtworks. So even if Sun dropped JRuby, other companies would probably take up the slack as in this case. JRuby makes sense in terms of enterprise software/consulting as well and probably doesn't need sun's upport to survive and even thrive (though of course Sun's support is a huge positive).
