Questions about JRuby + Java 7

Hi JRuby folk,

I’ve got some questions about JRuby internals that I hope someone on
this
list can help answer:

The JSR
292http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/DynTypeLang/index.htmlhomepage
talks about three ways you could run a dynamic language on the JVM:

  1. Create synthetic types for method arguments and return values,
    i.e.
    MyObject fxn(MyObject a, MyObject b);
  2. Use reflected invocation
  3. Write a language-specific interpreter on top of the VM

I’m assuming that JRuby implements #3. Is that correct?

Also, if you can compile JRuby scripts into JVM bytecode, does that mean
that JRuby also implements #1 and/or #2?

And finally: I dug around the web for information on JRuby and the new
dynamic capabilities of Java 7 and didn’t find a lot of information.
Does
anybody know what the plan is for that?

Thanks in advance!
