Not really.
Put another way: Most Java constructs translate intuitively to Ruby, as soon
as I just conceptually gave up on even trying to use generics, but Java can
work with raw types, too, so that's not that big a leap.
Nearly everything I want to do with JRuby and Java, I don't have to go to the
docs, it just does what I'd expect:
require 'java'
import java.util.AbstractCollection
import java.util.ArrayList
class MyCollection < AbstractCollection
def initialize
super
@coll = ArrayList.new
@coll << 1
@coll << 2
@coll << 3
end
def iterator
@coll.iterator
end
def size
@coll.size
end
end
Not only does that give me the stuff I wanted from AbstractCollection, but
Java "knows" it's a working collection, so I can do this:
import java.util.Collections
c = Collections.unmodifiableCollection MyCollection.new
i = c.iterator
i.next # returns 1
i.remove # throws java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
Basically, by knowing Java and Ruby, and looking at the Javadoc for various
Collections-related stuff, I was able to write the above without knowing a
single thing about JRuby other than that I have to "require 'java'" first.
So maybe it's just me, but the first time I actually had to Google for how
JRuby does something was when it wasn't immediately obvious that I needed:
> > include Comparator
That's about the closest you could map that onto Ruby, but unlike the
previous, it's not a perfect match, because Ruby doesn't have interfaces, or
really anything like them. In Ruby, if I'm going to completely implement
Comparator, there's no reason I should ever have to include Comparator.
I don't really see a good way around that, though. Plus, this stuff is cool:
> Or this may work too (I don't remember PriorityQueue's API):
>
> pq = PriorityQueue.new(11) do |a, b|

> end
That does work.
So this isn't a complaint, really. How could I complain when actually learning
about JRuby gives me even easier interfaces than I'd expect?

...at the same time as they're also making things difficult for anyone who
wants to start an implementation of Java other than OpenJDK. The fact that
Ruby has MRI (1.8 and 1.9), JRuby, MacRuby, and others is a _strength_. There
really only is the one implementation of Java.
The fact that OpenJDK exists and is GPL'd helps me sleep better at night, but
the fact that Oracle is suing people over patents makes me wonder how useful
the GPL actually is in this case. It's kind of like x264 being GPL'd --
doesn't make H.264 any more open.
> As far as *using* Java, nothing has changed for the worse in the past year.
Right, and I am using it (and JRuby).
It's just the long-term stuff that scares me. I suppose it's not actually a
change for the worse given Sun always had the ability to do the stuff Oracle's
doing now, but every now and then, it looks as though Oracle might actually be
clueless (or evil?) enough to run Java into the ground for a short-term
profit.
I doubt it's going to happen, but I do try to keep enough of my code portable
that a switch back to MRI would be possible, if incredibly painful.
