Congratulations! May the next 3 years be at least as successful as the last. Keep up the good work.

We’ve been active with JRuby beyond Oracle Mix. Its internal sibling, Connect, is also JRuby. We recently did a redesign you can read about here: http://theappslab.com/2009/05/12/whats-new-in-connect-40/

Keep up the excellent work.

Three Years of JRuby on Rails

Just yesterday the 3-year mark of JRuby running Rails passed by. In the intervening period since JRuby first started to run Rails, we’ve seen:

6715 commits to JRuby and counting (via git-rev-list --pretty=oneline 2fc4a18..HEAD | wc -l)
Over 40,000 messages to the JRuby mailing lists
3645 issues opened, 3019 of those already closed
18 JRuby releases (0.9.0 to 1.2), with 1.3 coming soon
The birth of activerecord-jdbc, jruby-rack, jetty-rails, glassfish gem and many other projects to make running Rails on JRuby as seamless as possible
Kenai.com, Oracle Mix, and a growing list of production sites running JRuby
FFI support allowing JRuby to interact with native code
JRuby and Rails running on Google App Engine

And yet, JRuby still has plenty of untapped potential and room for growth and adoption: in the existing Ruby and Rails communities where JRuby is showing promise as a stable, performant, concurrency-enabled, and leak-proof platform; and as a transformative force to capture the mindshare of a huge army of Java developers who aren’t even aware that there’s a language and runtime that allows them to preserve their skills and existing code while developing new applications faster and with much greater enjoyment.

Here’s looking to the future of continued growth for JRuby over the next three years. The best is yet to come!
