JRuby on Rails?

Rails has been running on JRuby for some time. I know the development team has used that as one of their benchmarks for Ruby compatibility. But check out this post from one of my fellow Sun employees. Basically what the graph shows is over time, Rails runs about the same speed on Java as it does on C. Very interesting.

Add to that great Ruby support in Netbeans 6.0 (due out in a month) and the ability to deploy Rails applications to Java application server. Things get very interesting indeed! Methinks Ruby will be getting a closer look in the enterprise.
