D vs JRuby: What are the differences?

D: Modern convenience. Modeling power. Native efficiency. D is a language with C-like syntax and static typing. It pragmatically combines efficiency, control, and modeling power, with safety and programmer productivity; JRuby: A high performance, stable, fully threaded Java implementation of the Ruby programming language. JRuby is the effort to recreate the Ruby (http://www.ruby-lang.org) interpreter in Java. The Java version is tightly integrated with Java to allow both to script any Java class and to embed the interpreter into any Java application. See the docs directory for more information.

D and JRuby can be primarily classified as "Languages" tools.

"Compile-time function execution" is the top reason why over 9 developers like D, while over 7 developers mention "Java" as the leading cause for choosing JRuby.

JRuby is an open source tool with 3.32K GitHub stars and 830 GitHub forks. Here's a link to JRuby's open source repository on GitHub.

According to the StackShare community, JRuby has a broader approval, being mentioned in 13 company stacks & 4 developers stacks; compared to D, which is listed in 6 company stacks and 6 developer stacks.
