Last week, at the end of JavaOne day one, I was able to grab the JRuby dynamic duo for a podcast.  Tom Enebo and Charlie Nutter turned out to be really nice guys, must be their midwestern roots, and were a pleasure to talk to (I also learned a lot :).

Charlie Nutter and Tom Enebo -- the JRuby dyanmic duo (and wearing the shirts to prove it).

Some of the topics we tackle:

• A historical background, Ruby, then Rails, then JRuby.
• What the guys were doing pre-Sun and how Tim Bray lured them to the fiery orb.
• Three licenses is better than one (GPL, CPL, LGPL)
  
• How JRuby is working with GlassFish and NetBeans.
• The DaVinci machine project, jMaki and what ever happened to AJAX?
  
• Might we see a JPerl?
• Looking to get more involved with MySQL (http://www.mysql.com/)
