Anyone have real-world success stories, or links to them (blog posts, mailing list threads, etc) where JRuby has been used as a tool for quick prototyping, API exploration, REPL-based debugging, and so forth, in a pure Java project?

  • @instantsetsuna that's not what i meant - i'm wondering about pure-java places where no jruby code is shipped, but it was nonetheless found useful as an internal development tool Commented Jan 19, 2011 at 7:48

I built a small wrapper around some solrj classes (jruby_streaming_update_solr_server) and do all my solr indexing via jruby. I find it easier to write processing routines in ruby than java, and it's so easy to rapidly spit something out, test it, and run it that I'll never go back.
