From Charles Nutter: “Lately my interest in JRuby on Android has increased. I realized very recently that JRuby is just about the only mainstream JVM languge that can create *new* code while running on the device, which opens up a whole host of possibilities. It is not possible to implement an interactive shell in Groovy or Scala or Clojure, for example, since they all must first compile code to JVM bytecode, and JVM bytecode can’t run on the Dalvik VM directly.” That’s pretty dope. Seems like a fun project to play with to satisfy your weekend hacking cravings.
