JRuby gabfest - No Fluff Just Stuff

JRuby gabfest

Posted by: Andrew Glover on November 20, 2007

In keeping with my copasetic conversations with hip people, I recently had the opportunity to chat with my friend Neal Ford regarding JRuby. As anyone who’s met Neal knows, this cat worships Ruby– what’s more, Neal is a super smart dude that lives and breathes Java as well. Accordingly, Neal offers some interesting thoughts on JRuby (and of course, Ruby) such as meta-programming, JRuby’s future, associated tools, and even Groovy.

Have a listen to this copasetic podcast (courtesy of JavaWorld) and stay tuned for more hip chinwagging, baby!
