Embracing Collaboration with JRuby and JavaScript
Published March 10th, 2010 Under Javascript, Open Source Tools | Leave a Comment
As web developers, we live in an arranged marriage with JavaScript. What is a Rubyist to do? Use JavaScript as a compile target? Abstract it away on the server? With JRuby, we can embrace the shared language of the web in a compelling way, building reusable libraries that work across the client-server boundary.

We gain a shared query language. And because it is JavaScript, we gain the entire web community as collaborators.
