Therefore they both share a runtime which will make it more straightforward to get the two to co-operate. The only "shared" runtime for java and ruby that I am aware of is, JRuby. Alternatively if your application can be separated into tasks that do not need a high level of communication you could possibly spawn a java process seperate from the ruby process. simon On Mon, Feb 25, 2008 at 7:59 PM, Joe K <jkauzlar / hotmail.com> wrote: > Hi, I'm looking for an interpreter for Java that allows me to run my Java > programs on the ruby interpreter.
