At that time I think it would have been fair to characterize JRuby as running at about 1/10 the speed of Yarv, the implementation that became Ruby 1.9 .
http://antoniocangiano.com/2007/12/03/the-great-ruby-shootout/ The main reason I'd not tremendously recommend building new projects in Java is efficient utilization of the programmer, and of the subsequent programmers who will have to maintain the project. Performance will not be the critical factor for this project. For best readability by subsequent maintainers, either Python or Ruby should be recommended. The disciplined can write elegant software in any language, but some languages are better at guiding the programmer to do so than others.
