Demons think of everything.  Lisp written in assembly is our only hope.

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.

Their suits are lovely.

If you want to plug in your own profile handlers that do support this, the

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.
