I saw Chris talk about his JRuby+Truffle stuff at NWRUG the year before
last. It was one of the most interesting talks I've been to (I don't
know much about this area, but it was interesting nonetheless).
I'd highly recommend it. Hopefully I'll be able to make it to this one.

I’m giving a talk at the Manchester Java Community next Thursday
(26th of March) at Madlab about JRuby+Truffle, which may be of
interest to members of NWRUG.

JRuby+Truffle is a high performance implementation of Ruby using a new
Java JIT compiler called Graal. It supports almost all of the Ruby
language, the majority of the core library and we can demonstrate it
running real-world code at more than 10x the speed of any other Ruby
implementation.
It also has revolutionary support for C extensions via a high
performance C interpreter, novel zero-overhead debugging
functionality, and many more fascinating features.
The talk is more specifically about the new JIT compiler, but I will
use Ruby as my running example.
There won’t be any factory-factories and you don’t need to know
Java to understand what we’re doing!
