RE: using Ruby objects from Java

Hello,
 I did some small things with webrick. It was so easy to setup a small
environment under windows that I can do Ajax development with. Good day.

Here's how I see it : The strength of Java lies in the massive amount of
available libraries and the ubiquity of the Java virtual machine.
The strength of Ruby lies in the eloquence of the language. The strength
of JRuby lies in it's ability to allow you to take advantage Java
libraries  and services from within the Ruby language. I think the use
cases for using Ruby libraries within the Java language are going to be
few and far between, or non-existent. Can anybody else think of a use
case for this last scenario?
