JavaOne attendees are in for a treat. Not only will they be receiving a DDJ issue which calls Rails a tipping-point to a new era in enterprise computing (or something like that)... they will also get to see a real Rails app running on a JRuby engine that is getting closer and closer to being usable in the real world.

Among other things, they've got a JDBC-backed ActiveRecord implementation! JDBC drivers are available for pretty much every database in existence!

Charles and Tom will officially present their work to the world at a JavaOne press conference on the future of dynamic languages on the JVM. Says Charles: "Along with the Quercus guys from Caucho (PHP for the JVM) and Roberto Chinnici from Sun (doing cool stuff with JSR223), we'll have our own ten minutes to show the press how cool JRuby really is. It oughta be a fun time, and should help get JRuby a bit wider exposure."

2006 is turning out to be much more interesting than I thought it would be! Suggested tags for the links in this blog entry: Java, Ruby, Rails, enterprise, this-changes-everything
