I'm very glad to hear that Jam is still going!
At the moment, I believe we're going to use the second half of Kumar's
GSoC project to focus on making JRuby run as well as possible on Jam
and IcedTea, both backed by the IcedTea/OpenJDK class libraries.
I'm especially interested in seeing how the performance is (hoping it
will be acceptable but knowing it won't be super fast) and how small a
memory footprint we can get JRuby on Jam (IcedTea and Oracle Embedded
JRE both use a lot more memory than we'd like...I'm hoping for
something more like Dalvik size).
I hope that Kumar can ping you from time to time with Jam questions as
we move further into his work on embedded JRuby. Thanks for the
update!
