Not only is it still alive, it's getting better! For those of you wanting to run Rails in a Java runtime, do not despair. Charles Nutter posted today with a JRuby Progress Updates: JRuby on Rails, IRB, and the Future.

It's a great read on several different levels. If you are porting any of the scripting languages to Java, this is a good read. I find it interesting to read about what particular operations were moved from Ruby to C and why it's so hard to duplicate some of those operations in Java.

Having a viable Ruby runtime inside of the Java VM opens up many interesting possibilities and also brings together two of the most vibrant development communities today. Here's hoping!

Enjoy!
