Description-en: 100% pure-Java implementation of Ruby
JRuby is a high performance, stable, fully threaded Java implementation
of the Ruby programming language.
.
JRuby is tightly integrated with Java to allow the embedding of the
interpreter into any Java application with full two-way access
between the Java and the Ruby code (similar to Jython for the Python
language).
.
JRuby provides a complete set of core "builtin" classes and syntax
for the Ruby language, as well as most of the Ruby Standard
Libraries. The standard libraries are mostly Ruby's own complement of
".rb" files, but a few that depend on C language-based extensions have
been reimplemented. Some are still missing, but JRuby hopes to
implement as many as is feasible.
