JRuby is such an exciting technology, but I felt like this article was more focused on JBang and Javalin than JRuby, but I get it, the goal was to make it work in JRuby.
Personally, I've been digging into using JavaFX with JRuby, we'll see how it goes.
I think that has the perfect balance between the productivity of Ruby and the benefit of the JVM but allowing me to share standalone portable jar file.
Very excited to see folks trying this out! Please get in contact with us (jruby team, either on social media or our matrix channel) if you have any troubles.
