If you’re interested in Ruby and Jave, I’ll risk a bit of self promotion  
and point out my interview with Charles Nutter and Thomas E.:

[Interview: JRuby Development Team | Linux Journal](http://www.linuxjournal.com/node/1000061)

and two extra bits that didn’t make it into the interview itself:

[On Ruby: JRuby Interview Leftovers — Ruby Books](http://on-ruby.blogspot.com/2006/07/jruby-interview-leftovers-ruby-books.html)  
[On Ruby: JRuby Interview Leftovers — A More Agile API](http://on-ruby.blogspot.com/2006/07/jruby-interview-leftovers-more-agile.html)

And as long as we’re plugging articles, Obie posted an article on the  
our  
(JRuby project) move from SourceForge to Codehaus. All told, it was a  
pretty  
big news day for JRuby.

I think that’s the first time I’ve heard my name said in a  
podcast…creepy.  
Yeah, sounds like they haven’t been drinking the JRuby kool-aid yet, so  
maybe we’ll drop them a line. Ruby is rapidly infecting the Java  
world…Rubyists rejoice!

You guys got mentioned on the JavaPosse too:

[http://www.javaposse.com/index.php?post\_id=109215](http://www.javaposse.com/index.php?post_id=109215)

Speaking of which, I bet they’d be interested in interviewing somebody  
from the core JRuby team if you have time… it’s worth dropping them a  
line…

Yours,

tom
