JRuby developers join Sun
The two lead developers on the Open Source project JRuby have been hired by Sun. Charles Nutter and Thomas Enebo will be working on JRuby fulltime now at Sun.
Sun seem to be putting a lot of effort into supporting other languages on the VM and specifically compiling to Java bytecode. It’s a truely interesting development although Visual Basic on the VM still makes me shudder.
Charles has some more on his blog.
