As a counterpoint, not every Ruby app is a Rails app. I've been using JRuby more and more lately for various text analysis projects. Calculating the mutual information over a huge set of tokens, for instance, was roughly 10 times faster in JRuby... And of course didn't suffer from the Unicode issues I was running into with Ruby (1.8). Regardless of whether or not it's suitable for Rails, it's absolutely suitable for other projects.
- jamesbritt 17y ago"As a counterpoint, not every Ruby app is a Rails app." Quite true. I have a commercial desktop JRuby app, But I've been running a production JRuby Ramaze app for about a year now as well (in support of that desktop app). It just works. Memory is not an issue. It may be a matter of how various libraries behave, and specific demands of different apps, but I've not seen a reason to think JRuby is unsuitable for Web apps.
