Today's AI test: see if Copilot can fix a networking test that sometimes times out. Ran for 5 minutes, changed two InetSocketAddress constructors to use getLoopbackAddress even though the old forms called anyLocalAddress. Fail.
The actual fix was to increase the timeout due to slow GHA runners.

Exciting demonstration of how fast JRuby can really be when you sweep away some of the metaprogramming layers of a typical Rails application... even when it already handles Rails HTML requests 2x faster than CRuby! Looking forward to seeing more about Roundhouse.

JRuby 9.4.15.0 is released! This is the last regularly-scheduled release of JRuby 9.4.x and includes the last set of unreleased 9.4 fixes. Future releases will be done as needed for commercial JRuby users. Contact us if you need long-term JRuby 9.4 support.
In about an hour I'll do my first solo JRuby workshop at RubyConf Austria! I've used this opportunity to start assembling a complete JRuby tutorial, and I'd love to include your ideas.

I've started a project to collaboratively build templates for JRuby on Rails! So far there's just the bare minimum Rails 8.0 template I posted about earlier this week. Rails template experts are desperately needed, as well as anyone who has an idea for JRuby on Rails templates that fit the JRuby Way of doing things!
