JRuby team leaves SUN/Oracle and goes to Engine Yard

Oracle’s acquisition of SUN seems to be unraveling in a number of areas. Citing lack of certainty (guess it means “uncertainty”) the JRuby team decided to leave SUN/Oracle and join Engine Yard. As Antonio Cangiano pointed in his blog, JRuby is indeed critical to the adoption of Ruby on Rails in the enterprise. Given Engine Yard’s commitment to Ruby on Rails this is a great move for the Ruby community. We wish JRuby and Engine Yard teams the best.

    This is indeed a good news for JRuby, developers. Possibly this may increase scalability for adoption of JRuby for either non java developers.

    Developers may be pretty optimistic making a sit, on pure open source community.
