Team,

Has anyone compiled Ruby under IBM Mainframe OS Z/VM?
Or can Ruby be compiled to run under IBM Mainframe OS Z/VM?

Thank you

If there's a JVM, JRuby's an answer.

We have people using JRuby on Z-series, but under z/Linux, not under
z/OS. However, I poked around for a few minutes and found this:

http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/tools/java/...

That's Java 7, 64-bit (31-bit available too) for z/OS. I would expect
there's versions going back a ways too.

So then...JRuby's an answer.
