Wha? Sorry but this sounds pretty FUDdish. I have never had an issue with JRuby to the extent that you are describing. Do you have some examples?

I know of many large app deployments in JRuby at large household name companies.

The only thing JRuby doesnt have is the relatively niche CExt functions.

I use jruby on my hobby projects at time (GUI support is great!) however...the startup time is...always...so...awful...it is truly painful. I'm basically moving on to either crystal or go now, it just wasn't worth it anymore.
