Minneapolis

Charles has been a co-lead of the JRuby project for almost 20 years, sponsored by various organizations to keep development of JRuby and related libraries moving forward. Among the projects he has worked on:

  • JRuby performance and optimization work, pushing the limits of the JVM and expanding its potential to host new and interesting languages.
  • Development and support of libraries critical to JRuby that have become projects on their own, used by many other open-source and commercial applications.
  • Working directly with JVM organizations and engineers around the world to find performance and feature opportunities on the Java platform and bring solutions to production.
  • Helping thousands of businesses around the world to deploy JRuby-based applications that process billions of requests daily.

Your sponsorship will help ensure that Charles is able to continue supporting JRuby and its users and bringing new and exciting improvements to the platform.

@headius

Reaching this goal will help me continue working on JRuby and building out commercial support offerings to ensure the success of the project for years to come. Please help me keep JRuby a strong and help part of the programming language world!
