Some recent changes on the JRuby trunk improve Java Integration, which allows JRuby to interact with pure Java code faster and more conveniently. Also: Ruby code compiled with JRuby's (JIT) compiler can now make use of the JVMs debugging capabilities using JSR-45 (Debugging Support for Other Languages).
The Rubinius team has been busy bringing the project closer to completeness. We look at some new concepts such as SendSites, and a few new information sources that help to keep up with the project or get a handle on the design of the system.
