Embracing Collaboration with JRuby and JavaScript
summary
Claims a pragmatic bridge: JRuby + Rhino runs JavaScript from Ruby, Node/V8 hits ~3700 req/s, but fine‑grained bridge calls tank a 10,000‑item loop (0.04s coarse vs ~6.99s per tight eval). Builds: CloudKit + jQuery‑CloudKit, snarl context loader, a JS database with localStorage and append‑only server file, JSON Query and JSON Schema for client/server validation and indexing. Experiments remain nonproduction; LLVM/Ruby→JS is proposed future. machine‑based collaboration dry principle one‑line resource exposure
