Recently, I landed a new library for JRuby that will be part of JRuby 1.5. Before I start I want to conjure the image you see below this text: that’s Right!  Mr. Potato Head: a role model for us all. Something that delights us for hours (or at least, probably did, at one point in our lives), is flexible, and is not only toy, but also starchy food product. Bear with me for a second, and excuse what must have just sounded like a wee bit of lunacy. The the truth is, we live in a world where, as programmers, we construct Mr. Potato Heads every day. We’re confronted with making software where not only are we required to stick various elements together, but also to arrange them in the most pleasing way possible.  Software design is really just like decorating a potato. The potato of this blog entry will be build software.
