Fear

Uncertainty

Doubt

(but I'd like to test that maglev thing too)


Even Sun is scared of MagLev.


Charles comments on nearly every ruby implementation, especially those that claim amazing things without being able to run rails. He's also been doing JRuby for quite a bit longer than he's been with Sun, so claiming that he's a proxy for Sun's collective fear of some product is just wrong.


By judging how defensive he's been and how much faster MagLev appears to be, JRuby team should be worried.
