MagLev was a show from the last RailsConf (2008). Presentation and demos of the product are really impressive.
Recently, Brian Takita asked in the JRuby mailing list:
JRuby + TerraCotta == Maglev?
What an idea! In the last few days I’ve tried to make something useful and I’m happy to have something to show.
The first demo runs with [...]

I’ve just passed the certification exam from Ruby Association. I’m not allowed to talk much about the test itself, but I leave my warning here: be prepared.
I was surprised, when I found it wasn’t an easy exam. I haven’t studied anything, as I’m working with Ruby everyday. But I should. Unfortunately, the test requires you [...]

Jeremy Kemper talked about jetty_rails in his keynote at RailsConf 2008. Wow!

In the same keynote, Jeremy also made the official release of Rails 2.1. Unfortunately, I couldn’t go to RailsConf this year, but I hope to be in the next!
I’m extremely excited about this. Thanks to Nick Sieger (who talked to Jeremy about jetty_rails) and [...]

JRuby 1.1.2 is going to be released (probably) today and it fixes a bug with $~ constants (Regexp.last_match), which made autotest finally work!

jruby -S gem install ZenTest
cd myproject
jruby -S autotest

I’ve previously submitted a patch to ZenTest guys. It makes the use of autotest possible with any JRuby 1.x, but now, with JRuby 1.1.2, autotest should [...]

I’ve just released a new version of the jetty-rails gem. Now, you can also run Merb applications inside JRuby and Jetty!

jruby -S gem install jetty-rails
cd mymerbapp
jruby -S jetty_merb

Unfortunately, it’s blocking my console (ctrl + c doesn’t terminate it). Has anyone suggestions on this?
I’ve also updated the basic documentation, as you can see here.
The Merb support [...]

This is the first time I’m writing about it, but jetty-rails is already 0.3!
Most people doing JRuby on Rails development are using JMongrels1 for development and some real Java Application Server in production.
The common flow is:

$ jruby script/server
=> Booting Mongrel (use ’script/server webrick’ to force WEBrick)
=> Rails application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to [...]

It was a great time last weekend, spending part of my holiday at RejectConf SP’07 in Brazil, “our first relevant conference”, as said by Fabio Akita.

The lectures were really great and the coffee-break (thanks Caelum) really came on the right time. During his RSpec talk, Danilo Sato created a web application to rate the presentations. [...]

The new Ruby logo

Ruby has changed its logo:

It’s licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license and created by Tom Schaub for the Ruby Logo Contest.
IMO, the older logo is far better:

Sexy, simple and cleaner. What do you think?

Ruby DSL to describe Automata

Recently, I built an internal DSL using Scheme to describe Deterministic Finite State Automata. It was quite easy to do through Scheme Macros, whose are really powerful (and hard to understand). The article “S. Krishnamurti. Automata via Macros. Journal of Functional Programming, Volume 16 , Issue 3 (May 2006)” is a great reference if you [...]

Unfortunately, we still have few events related to Ruby on Rails here in Brazil. Fabio Akita started the movement to change it.
We are organizing an event here in São Paulo - Brazil (link pt-BR), similar to RejectConfs. It will happen on November 17, 2007.
If you are close to São Paulo this day, do not miss [...]
