Mirah (nee Duby) is a new experimental language born out of the JRuby project. In order to make implementing Ruby on the JVM easier and more approachable for Java and Ruby developers alike. Charles Oliver Nutter wanted to create a language that essentially looked like Ruby, but was statically typed and compiled to fast JVM bytecode. Mirah is the result.

EventMachine is a library for Ruby, C , and Java programs. It provides event-driven I/O using the Reactor pattern. EventMachine is designed to simultaneously meet two key needs: * Extremely high scalability, performance and stability for the most demanding production environments; and * An API that eliminates the complexities of high-performance threaded network programming, allowing engineers to concentrate on their application logic. This unique combination makes EventMachine a premier choice for designers of critical networked applications, including web servers and proxies, email and IM production systems, authentication/authorization processors, and many more.

Buildr is a build system for Java applications. We wanted something that’s simple and intuitive to use, so we only need to tell it what to do, and it takes care of the rest. But also something we can easily extend for those one-off tasks, with a language that’s a joy to use. And of course, we wanted it to be fast, reliable and have outstanding dependency management.

Today, what does a developer do when they want to start a project from scratch? Do I go with JSF? Ruby on Rails? JRuby? Groovy on Rails? Struts 2? GWT? Flex?

Frederic Daoud points out the plusses and minuses of Groovy, JRuby, and Scala, showing a small illustrative program in each.

Raven is a build tool for Java programs based on Rake and Ruby Gems.

Ruby on Rails vs Java - RailsEnvy.com Commerical

Ruby on Rails is a relatively new Web application framework built on the Ruby language. It is billed as an alternative to existing enterprise frameworks, and its goal, in a nutshell, is to make your life -- or at least the Web development aspects of it -- easier. In this article, Aaron Rustad compares and contrasts some of the key architectural features of Rails and traditional J2EE frameworks.

just got done adding another sample app to the Flex RoR SDK that I have been working on with Mike Potter. Basically, all I did was take the FlexPaint app created by James Ward and replace the Java back end with Ruby on Rails back end. I also added a simple interface for adding an image to the canvas (see below), so that you can draw on it. This sample app uses both WEBOrb and regular ole’ HTTP calls to integrate Flex with Rails.
