Why I like JRuby (and you should too)

JRuby opens doors that MRI has closed, being highly performant and offers access to Java libraries. From the perspective of a former MRI'er, I’ll discuss concrete examples of how to realize the benefits of the JRuby stack, drawing examples from my work on an open-source JRuby on Rails app.
