JRuby has changed a lot in the past year. With a new focus on Java integration, the entire world of Java libraries has opened up to Rubyists. The night will include a presentation by Charles Nutter followed by discussion about all things JRuby, such as:

• invokedynamic and method combinators
• JRuby on the desktop
• challenges of implementing a dynamic language on the JVM
• what JRuby can do to help enterprise IT and existing J2EE applications
• JRuby on Android
• whatever else the audience wants to hear about

Charles Oliver Nutter has spent the past 4 years making JRuby into an
oustanding Ruby implementation. Now he’s working to make JRuby a
first-class JVM language, with all the Java integration features users
expect. Charles blogs at blog.headius.com.
