summary
Three short reports give concrete results not promises: a JRuby gem wrapping Mondrian/OLAP that generates MDX/XQuery from a small DSL to answer dimensional analytics and uses in‑memory caching for faster aggregations; a claim that a recently released imperative systems language (no GC, C‑like modules, runtime polymorphism) compiles easily and benchmarks as “really fast”; and a jruby gem wrapping Saxon XSLT that vendors the Java runtime, sets gem platform to Java, and works—built over a weekend and used to process a 500k‑word Word XML.
