JRuby 0.9.9 is now out in the wild and has been declared “ready for prime time”.
The focus on this release has been compatibility with Ruby 1.8.4. However, despite compatibility being the overall priority, performance hasn’t been ignored; JRuby 0.9.9 is 40% faster than the 0.9.8 release.
One of the compatibility benchmarks the JRuby team uses is the ability to run Rails applications without errors, and this is something that they’ve finally achieved. For example, the popular Rails blogging engine Mephisto is working well on this release. JRuby developer Ola Bini is pleased with JRuby’s compatibility with Ruby 1.8.4. He stated “compatibility is looking very good. Almost all of Ruby 1.8 [is] working flawlessly”.
The next step for JRuby is a 1.0 RC release which they are hoping to get ready for the JavaOne conference in May.
The significant achievements for JRuby 0.9.9 are:
When asked what the main message behind this release was, Ola Bini said:
“JRuby is ready for prime time. Application developers should try their applications on JRuby NOW”
The JRuby team are very keen to get as many people using JRuby as possible, so that as many of the remaining glitches can be ironed out before the upcoming 1.0 release.

The line between development and architecture is tricky. Does it exist at all? Is an ivory tower actually needed? There's a balance in the middle, but how do you move from developer to architect?
The word 'authority' sometimes produces an allergic response in hard-line agilists. Freedom and authority – both are bad if misused and both are good if used in right spirit for a noble cause.

Those familiar with only ITIL V2 often scoff at the thought that ITIL could serve as a governance framework for SOA. With ITIL V3, the focus of the framework shifted towards service-orientation.
