They were specific to the JRuby / AR version we were using. Unless you're
working in a legacy stack (JRuby 1.4, Rails 2.3.5) you won't hit them.

The point was more that strange things can happen that don't happen to the
majority of the community. Ruby/Rails' popularity means that issues are
identified and fixed or worked around often. You will be reducing your
available knowledge pool if you hit a JRuby specific issue, just as if you
decided to deploy your stack on a less common operating system.

However, JRuby is pretty mature and has a solid user base, certainly
compared to JVM ports of other languages like Python.
