Re: [jruby-user] JRuby pitch for Java developers?

I might not be the best case study
but JRuby in my Java applications
is used primarly in these situations:

1. Querying application objects in realtime/runtime
2. Creating reports for users in runtime inside application (we have
special module for this)
3. Using JRuby scripts for these parts of application that are very
likely to change frequently (loading complicated data from xls files
on runtime)
