Re: [PhillyOnRails] Ruby in a JVM

[Flinn Mueller <theflinnster@gmail.com>]

My interest in ruby byte code is two fold, #1 to productize a rails  
app, and #2 speed.  I believe I've read the JRuby could increase the  
speed of ruby apps.  I'd love to be able to create single file  
distribution (or bundle like apple's .app packages or a WAR file) for  
a rails application that can be configured to run on a host without  
compromising the source code.
