Sun's JRuby Team Jumps Ship To Engine Yard

Posted by kdawson on from the just-in-case dept.

itwbennett writes "'To be honest, we had no evidence that Oracle wouldn't support JRuby, but we also didn't have any evidence that they would,' said Charles Nutter, explaining why Sun's entire 3-member JRuby team will be leaving the company to work for application hosting company Engine Yard. Nutter called getting hired by Sun about two-and-a-half years ago and being given the chance to work full time on JRuby a 'dream come true.' And said that the decision to leave Sun came down to making sure 'JRuby will get to the next level.'"

    I fucked his ass last night but I couldn't feel anything and he kept pooping on me.

    If I were a Sun employee, I'd do the exact same thing.

    If there's one thing even slower or more pointless than jvm and ruby, it's ruby on rails. I guess someone didn't get the memo, but RoR's 15 minutes are up.

    And Engine Yard? Seriously? I guess if you like overpriced, slow, RoR (see previous adjective) hosting, they're an option. Mod me down now, but mark my words: within a year they'll be out of business or focusing primarily on php, perl, and python.
