Does anyone have any performance numbers of Ruby vs JRuby? Would any JRuby appl with GUI run on any *NIX server that supports Java? Is there a drag and drop widgets creation GUI design under JRuby with Swing? I think VxRuby or something to that effect is the only GUI environment that offers drag/drop widget creation. Not sure though! Currently I am running Ruby 1.8.7 and on some servers I am playing 1.9. What is the equivalent version of JRuby to the latest level of Ruby? How far behind is JRuby from Ruby (C-Ruby)? If I am not mistaken, Monkeybars is only an MS/Windows appl, correct? Thank you Victor ------ art_8206_19946290.1212807045244--
