Currently i am attending the JavaPolis 2006. A nice event with interesting topics and nice interesting people to meet. It is located at a nice venue in Antwerp called ‘Metropolis‘. If you are in the neighbourhood it is surely worth a visit and grab a movie if you are there. Enough said about the venue lets talk Java.. Yesterday the JRuby guys had a nice talk about the current state of the JRuby platform and possibilities. The current JRuby implementation and Rails framework are more or less available ontop of the JVM. It is interesting because it opens possibities using the Ruby language ontop of a robust JVM environment so we can program Ruby using the possibilities the Ruby language gives us and combine this with the awsome power of Java. I cannot wait to get my hands on JRuby and start creating some applications.
