[LRUG] Fwd: BOF sessions wih LRUG at No Fluff Just Stuff eXchange, London

[Murray Steele]

Just to throw something else into the mix, does anyone have any exposure to
JRuby?  I can happily witter on about my own experiences integrating
java+ruby during my transformation into a ruby programmer, but I didn't use
JRuby and that's clearly the way to do things now, so I'm not clear on how
useful it would be.

Anyone else done anything with JRuby?
