		headius on Dec 20, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Massive Ruby speed boost with JRuby and Java 7. OpenSSL is a terribly complex library to support, but we've managed to steadily improve our pure-Java port (originally a herculean effort by Ola Bini, it wraps bouncycastle in an OpenSSL-lookalike API). There's still probably issues, but we have tried to fix them as they come up.

Yes, that was no criticism, I'm hoping jruby will succeed.

Fwiw, I'm currently blocked on http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-6260

Apparently the fix is already done but hasn't made it into the 0.7.5dev gem yet.
