Some people aren't allowed to / don't want to run Java. Also, Ruby 1.9 is a better beast. Simple changes to the API make it nicer to use. Things like, for instance, the Enumerator class, and especially "multilingualization" as built-in. That and the fact that it's really quite fast. I know that JRuby is also comparatively fast.
These features along with the ones I've missed are really nice things, IMHO. Just my 2 cents. Julian.
