JRuby - The Perfect Alternative

May 12, 20100 likes689 views

JRuby allows Ruby code to run on the Java Virtual Machine. It provides the ability to reuse existing Java libraries and deploy Ruby applications in scalable and enterprise-ready environments. While Java may have a reputation for being slow, JRuby performance is on par with CRuby for most web applications due to JIT compilation optimizations in the JVM. Calling between Ruby and Java code is seamless, allowing Ruby code to leverage Java libraries and Java code to leverage Ruby code. JRuby applications can be packaged and deployed like standard Java applications.

What is JRuby?

Its just Ruby
Running on the JVM
(Java Virtual Machine)

Conclusion

..I truly wish it is that simple.

Summary: Normal usage on Web you will find
JRuby performs same as CRuby

As all good things in life........
there are few limitations
● You cannot use libraries which use CRuby
Extensions
● Java Threads
● Posix Methods
● Does not support continuations/bindings.

Performance & External Libraries
● For the sake of performance it would be better
to use Java Libraries over JRuby at times.
● Totally depends on your requirement.
● Including external Java libraries within your
JRuby Code is fairly straightforward
● You can also put the jar files in the rails lib directory
for getting access to them in your rails application

JfreeChart – Chart Generation
● All you need to do is either have the jars in your
classpath
● Or include it in your libs folder in rails.

In Summary
● I strongly believe JVM should be your platform
Strategy
● This more or less comes out of my experience.
● JRuby will fit into many cloud architectures with little
effort (Not sure of Azure yet)

RJB - another choice for Ruby and Java interoperabilityAkio Tajima

RJB is a library that provides interoperability between Ruby and Java, allowing Ruby code to import and use Java classes. Some key points: - RJB allows importing Java classes into Ruby code, instantiating Java objects, and calling methods and accessors on those objects. - It has been tested on MRI Ruby, JRuby, Rubinius, and various operating systems. - The creator developed RJB to easily write interactions between Java classes for testing purposes when JRuby did not yet exist. - RJB converts returned Java objects to proxy objects in Ruby but can also convert primitive types like integers.

JRuby: What's Different (RORO Melbourne October 2011)Charles Nutter

JRuby runs Ruby code on the Java Virtual Machine. This allows Ruby programs to access Java libraries and tools like Swing, and take advantage of features like the JVM's garbage collection and just-in-time compilation. JRuby is compatible with Ruby 1.8.7 and 1.9.2 and runs on multiple platforms. While it has some missing or disabled features compared to MRI Ruby, JRuby programs typically see improved performance due to the JVM. JRuby also enables building scalable, concurrent server applications using Java servers and tools.

Jug dynamic languages_in_jvmDmitry Buzdin

The document discusses alternative programming languages that can be used on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) besides Java. It outlines some limitations of Java and reasons for considering other options. Several dynamic and functional languages that run on the JVM are described, including Groovy, JRuby, Scala, and JavaScript via Rhino. The document recommends trying Groovy first due to its easy integration with Java and availability of frameworks. It emphasizes that using other JVM languages does not require replacing Java entirely and encourages giving them a try without dropping Java.

Inside the JVMJim Jagielski

The document discusses the Java virtual machine (JVM) memory layout and garbage collection. It explains that the JVM manages memory within a process heap. The Java heap stores Java objects and is configured using -Xmx and -Xms. Objects are initially allocated to the young generation and may be promoted to the old generation if they survive garbage collection. The JVM process heap also includes memory for permanent generation, threads, sockets, native code, and garbage collection itself. Out of memory errors can occur if any of these areas fill up. The document provides tips on tuning garbage collection and avoiding memory issues.

Over 9000: JRuby in 2015Charles Nutter

JRuby 9000 represents the biggest-ever leap forward for JRuby. Not only have we caught up on compatibility (9000 will be 2.2-compatible from release), but we've completely redesigned our JVM-based runtime and have opened our codebase up to the JRuby+Truffle research project from Oracle Labs. The changes we've made will make it easier to keep up with MRI on compatibility and give us the potential to run Ruby as fast as Java or C. The entire Ruby world will change over the next year, and JRuby 9000 will be leading the way. We'll talk about what Ruby's going to look like once JRuby is "over 9000".

Artificial Intelligence is providing benefits in many areas of work within the heritage sector, from image analysis, to ideas generation, and new research tools. However, it is more critical than ever for people, with analogue intelligence, to ensure the integrity and ethical use of AI. Including real people can improve the use of AI by identifying potential biases, cross-checking results, refining workflows, and providing contextual relevance to AI-driven results. News about the impact of AI often paints a rosy picture. In practice, there are many potential pitfalls. This presentation discusses these issues and looks at the role of analogue intelligence and analogue interfaces in providing the best results to our audiences. How do we deal with factually incorrect results? How do we get content generated that better reflects the diversity of our communities? What roles are there for physical, in-person experiences in the digital world?

DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptxJustin Reock

Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics 10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’ Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them. But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?

AI Changes Everything – Talk at Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2...Alan Dix

Talk at the final event of Data Fusion Dynamics: A Collaborative UK-Saudi Initiative in Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence funded by the British Council UK-Saudi Challenge Fund 2024, Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2025 https://alandix.com/academic/talks/CMet2025-AI-Changes-Everything/ Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think? Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater. At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts. At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.

JRuby - The Perfect Alternative

1. Ram Vijapurapu @rvijapurapu

2. What is JRuby? Its just Ruby Running on the JVM (Java Virtual Machine)

3. Conclusion ..I truly wish it is that simple. Image credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hordurk/3204191929/

4. Social Context

5. Social Context

6. Social Context

7. Why do we want to go back to the Haunted House again? ● Reuse what's already built Enterprise Ready ● Need of a Scalable Platform ^ ● Need for an inclusive Platform – Ruby, Groovy, Python, JS, .. ● Generally Love of Engineering Genius

8. What is the first thing you hear about Java? Image credit: http://bit.ly/btxcPf

9. Common Man! Java is Slooow ● Maybe... Maybe not! ACHTUNG! Highly Unscientific Testing

10. Common Man! Java is Slooow No Optimizations

11. Common Man! Java is Slooow 100

12. Common Man! Java is Slooow 1,000

13. Common Man! Java is Slooow 10,000

14. Common Man! Java is Slooow 100,000

15. Common Man! Java is Slooow 100,000 What's your Point? See Java is sl0000w!

16. st a Common Man! Java is Slooow F 1,000,000

17. st F a Common Man! Java is Slooow Fast 1,000,000 Clearly you fudged it!

18. You fudged it! ● Maybe – but there is method in madness

19. You fudged it! Moral: Focus on your code ● Maybe JVM there is care ofin madness & – but takes method the rest – well into the future Performance Improvements in JVM from 1.5 to 1.6 have been significant. both are running i386

20. What just happened? ● Magic – JVM/Hotspot (Dark Magic?) ● JIT (Just In Time Compilation) – Optimization on the Fly ● Speaking further on this is beyond the scope of this presentation _ Summary: Normal usage on Web you will find JRuby performs same as CRuby

21. As all good things in life........ there are few limitations ● You cannot use libraries which use CRuby Extensions ● Java Threads ● Posix Methods ● Does not support continuations/bindings. (Feature Missing) http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JRUBY/Limitations

22. Same stuff – Different Different ● ruby ● jruby ● Irb ● jirb ● rake ● jruby -S rake ● gem ● jruby -S gem Include jruby-complete.jar or jruby.jar in your CLASSPATH & PATH for the executable

23. Show me stuff... JRuby integration with JVM Ruby'ized – by popular demand!

24. Choose your Hammer – Calling Ruby from within Java

25. Choose your Hammer – Calling Ruby from within Java JSR 223

26. Choose your Hammer – Calling Ruby & Groovy from within Java

27. Choose your Hammer – Calling Ruby & Groovy from within Java Why would we want to do this? Because we can

28. Choose your Hammer – Calling JRuby file from within Java

29. Choose your Hammer – Calling JRuby file from within Java

30. Ruby > Java

31. Ruby > Java & Back [SNIPPED]

32. Ruby > Java & Back

33. Performance & External Libraries ● For the sake of performance it would be better to use Java Libraries over JRuby at times. ● Totally depends on your requirement. ● Including external Java libraries within your JRuby Code is fairly straightforward ● You can also put the jar files in the rails lib directory for getting access to them in your rails application

34. JfreeChart – Chart Generation ● All you need to do is either have the jars in your classpath ● Or include it in your libs folder in rails. http://kfahlgren.com/blog/2007/04/13/jruby-jfreechart-sparklines/

35. JRuby & Library Jars

36. This guy is boring why doesn't he just show me rails

37. The Holy Blog

38. ...

39. ...

40. DB Stuff

41. Packaging...

42. Packaging & Deploying config/warble.rb

43. Voila

44. In Summary ● I strongly believe JVM should be your platform Strategy ● This more or less comes out of my experience. ● JRuby will fit into many cloud architectures with little effort (Not sure of Azure yet) – Portability from within

45. Useful Links ● http://jruby.org/ ● http://www.infoq.com/vendorcontent/show.action?vc ● http://code.google.com/p/appengine-jruby/ > http://rails-depot.appspot.com/ ● http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JRuby#Performance
