I don't have any experience with Ruby, but I did a Jython project last year and I was rather disappointed. For a start it's still stuck on the 2.x versions of Python (I find 3.x much better, esp. for things like Unicode support). Secondly I found it to be really, really s l o w.

So while I love the concept of being able to write Python code for the JVM, I'm probably not going to be doing it again any time soon with Jython.
