I'm waiting for JRuby to be a stronger product, currently it has too
many issues. For Drools 3.0 we can quickly support any language that can
work with commons jci. So the quickest root to get ruby support is to
adapt it to JCI.

Hi,
Are there any plans on adding support for the Ruby language to Drools?
Already Python is supported and it is not a long stretch from there to
Ruby.
Ruby support would be useful to Rails developers as well. Rails is
already nicely architected around separation of concerns, Drools woild
add more support for that.
If there are no plans, might an approach be started? I noticed the
.Net support was recently added. Binding to a new language is
straightforward enough to take on? Like Java and C#, Ruby has superior
XML parsing tools built in.
There is also rjb - a Ruby to Java bridge. A layer could be written
using that to communicate from Ruby to Drools.
Thanks for your help. Looking forward to using Drools in Ruby!
