Well, contrary to popular belief, Oracle doesn't actually own the IP for the whole JVM (or even most of it, if I remember correctly). And less and less as time goes on and the USPTO keeps invalidating their patents.

But yeah, running Ruby on a JVM written in C++ just means you have to serve two demonic overlords. So I don't think you're any better off unfortunately.

Not unless you want to be a slave to demons. I don't imagine Scott being a

If you want to plug in your own profile handlers that do support this, the
APIs for that are public and not very extensive. I am more than happy to
help advise somebody how to do that. It requires writing C++ code. This
was a language used by ancient demons now buried deep in the earth who
will someday rise and enslave Ruby programmers.

So you're saying we should all switch to JRuby.
