When I read this a couple days ago, I had one word: WOW. This is really 
awesome news. About a year ago I fiddled around with making JRuby in an 
applet usable from the browser's JS engine, and it was really painful. I 
eventually got it to hobble along, but it was not really usable. But 
this is very exciting to see.

What's the progress of getting this u10 functionaliy out to other 
platforms, including Mac OS X?
