Ola Bini • June 07, 2013 • Singapore

JRuby is an implementation of Ruby for the JVM. It gives you unprecedented integration with the Java ecosystem while still having access to great Ruby libraries such as Rails, RSpec and many more.

JRuby has gone from being an alternative implementation of Ruby, to a battle hardened tool that many enterprises are using in production. The update in the community means that most gems now are released with outstanding JRuby compatibility, and JRuby can still be counted as the fastest implementation of Ruby.

In this presentation we will take a look at the reasons for using JRuby, how to get started and what things you can do with JRuby that no other platform gives you.
