Running on Praia da Costa, Espirito Santo in Brazil
Praia
da Costa
is a beautiful tropical beach located in the city of Vila Velha,
state of
Espirito
Santo in Brazil. I had a great 55 minues run this
afternoon on the beach:
It felt really nice running on the beautiful sand. On a Saturday
afternoon, the beach was loaded with volleyball and
futebol players. And I even saw American football too :)
Check out a video of some locals playing futebol:
Here are some pictures:

LOTD #9: Advantages of JRuby over MRI
Andreas blogged about why he likes
JRuby even though he dislikes Java.
JRuby is "It's just
Ruby" with more than 50,000 tests to ensure MRI compliance. The blog
highlights that there is no need to know Java, at all, to run JRuby.
Here are
some advantages that are described in the blog:
- JVM runtime optimization
- Efficient memory usage
- Native threads to spread work on multiple cores
- Great garbage collection to make memory usage more efficient
- JIT and AOT compilation
- Inegration with Java libraries
- Running Rails applications on existing Java application servers
- Documentation and specs
Do you know Rails applications can be deployed (without any packaging) on GlassFish v3 ? Check out more details here.
