If you pass -J-Djruby.native.enabled=false it will run in a 100% Pure

dishonest? Anyone else have an opinion?
All you need is a suitable JRE, right?
My suggestion: Leave it as it as and add a small footnote or a link to
an article explaining the exceptions, that they can be disabled with
-J-Djruby.native.enabled=false and what the consequences of the flag
are.
My suggestion: do nothing at all. JRuby runs fine without the native
bits, you just lose some functionality. And they all have pure-Java
fallbacks, in every case. I commented saying as much on Jeroen's blog
post, and I think it was a little unkind of him to claim that there's
something wrong with JRuby when we go above and beyond 100% Java to
support features 100% Java can't provide.
JRuby is a 100% Java implementation of Ruby, except when you want to use
features for which 100% Java is insufficient.
