=About JRuby=
JRuby is a 100% Java implementation of the Ruby programming language. It is Ruby for the JVM.

JRuby provides a complete set of core &quot;builtin&quot; classes and syntax for the Ruby language, as well as most of the Ruby Standard Libraries. The standard libraries are mostly Ruby's own complement of &lt;tt&gt;.rb&lt;/tt&gt; files, but a few that depend on C language-based extensions have been reimplemented. Some are still missing, but we hope to implement as many as is feasible.

See [[DifferencesBetweenMriAndJruby|Differences Between MRI And JRuby]] for more information on potential incompatibilities between JRuby and the C implementation of Ruby.

==Development Team==
JRuby's current core development team consists of six developers:

*Charles Oliver Nutter (Engine Yard) aka headius
*Thomas Enebo (Engine Yard) aka enebo
*Nick Sieger (Engine Yard)
*Ola Bini (Thoughtworks)
*Marcin Mielzynski aka lopex
*Bill Dortch
*Wayne Meissner
*MenTaLguY
