Martin Fowler makes an interesting claim in GroovyOrJRuby: A strong reason to prefer Ruby is the fact that it lives in multiple implementations. Fowler is alluding to the fact that Groovy runs on the JVM only, whereas “Ruby can run directly on mainstream operating systems with a C runtime, and is starting to run on .NET’s CLR”. I don’t see this as a strong advantage for Ruby at all.
