Best line in the article: "Dejected, Billy sulked away and became a Lisp programmer, living forever in a land where data is code and code is data and everyone eats butterscotches and rides unicorns. He was never seen nor heard from again."

I hope billy recovers from his time spent with java trying to make a silk purse out of a pigs ear.

Wheh its good news that jruby will get a lot faster, but that article went straight over my head. Not enough coffee yet.
