Summary: Review Request: jruby - Pure Java implementation of the Ruby interpreter
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=417511
------- Additional Comments From walters@redhat.com 2008-04-06 15:10 EST ------- I think Ruby 1.9 is using native threads, so presumably the MRI stdlib will need to become threadsafe as well.
Long term, the best thing would be to have one shared stdlib; you could imagine modules which are the same on both just being /usr/lib/ruby/foo.rb, but the VM-specific ones be /usr/lib/jruby/foo.rb, /usr/lib/mi-ruby/foo.rb.
How about in the short term, get the JRuby people to modify their package loader to first look in /usr/lib/jruby, and then fall back to the normal /usr/lib/ruby?
