Lunch with the JRuby Guys

Today we went out to lunch at Billabong's with Charles Nutter and Tom Enebo -- the JRuby Guys.

[Lunch with the JRuby guys]

It is a treat, in this highly networked world, every once and a while, to connect with people in meatspace. Just last week Charles and Tom were celebrated on Rich Green's (internal) all-hands call (which includes Sun's global software organization).

Today we spoke about performance (of course) of JRuby and ideas for leveraging HotSpotTM technology for alternate languages. John -- one of our local Systems Engineers -- gave Charles and Tom a sense of what commercial customers will likely be looking for.... And John also treated us to lunch (thanks John!).

We spoke about getting more involved in local Java groups/events (life has been more than a little hectic for all of us ;-). And yes, Bob, we'll go back to Billabong's for Dingo Red's soon!
