    After 12 years at Red Hat, it's time to move on. I'm going to need your help to keep working on JRuby, and I'm accepting sponsorships and commercial support interest right now!

    If you see the value in having a strong, independent JRuby project, now is the time to step up and help ensure its future. JRuby needs you and so do I!

    Sorry to hear, I never used Ruby but never heard a bad thing about it.

    This is exactly what this IBM does a few years after buying a company, they have been doing that for close to 25 years. They should trademark that activity. So, if any other Open Source Projects were being supported in this way, they should start getting prepared :(

    Shopify is already on the sponsors list apparently. Sharing it here since it is a fairy valuable project!
