It’s true that I’m not the qualified guy to talk about Java’s power,as it has been 2 years since i last practiced it, but i feel like i have to communicate my thoughts to the people that didn’t give JRuby a trial yet, and why they should do so. If you never worked with Java before, then don’t panic, cause in these article i would list several reasons why JRuby is so powerful even if you don’t know anything about Java. So let's start...

Trephine makes creating ultra-rich web applications easy by bringing the full power of the desktop to the web developer. This is achieved by executing privileged JavaScript code through a tiny (~20kb) signed Java applet. With Trephine you can: read and write from the file system, open sockets for listening, access the system clipboard, and much more.
This is more Web related, but could be used to run JRuby in the browser instead of JavaScript

The long awaited Ruby virtual machine shootout is here. In this report I’ve compared the performances of several Ruby implementations against a set of synthetic benchmarks. The implementations that I tested were Ruby 1.8 (aka MRI), Ruby 1.9 (aka Yarv), Ruby Enterprise Edition (aka REE), JRuby 1.1.6RC1, Rubinius, MagLev, MacRuby 0.3 and IronRuby.

Grant Michaels has put together a walkthrough of installing Merb - running on a JRuby stack - on a Linode VPS. It'll work for Linux generally, however, and has even be useful to me on OS X. It's a bit of a mish-mash, but you'll probably find something useful in here.

A Look at Ruby Debuggers by Werner Schuster takes a look at the various debugger options available to Ruby developers (options for MRI, JRuby, Rubinius and Iron Ruby are included).
Most folks point to Ruby's MRI implementation as Ruby's greatest weakness. Luckily this is fixable and fixes are in the works. The bad news is that the true weakness about the language will be much harder to solve. Ruby's docs are horrid, and in this post I provide a small but telling (and scary) example. As a Ruby fan, I fear the state of the documentation the most.
