# JRuby at RubyConf 2026

**[RUBYLAND](https://daily.dev/sources/rubyla)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Charles Oliver Nutter, the lead developer of JRuby, announces JRuby's presence at RubyConf 2026, marking two major milestones: 20 years since he joined Sun Microsystems to work on JRuby full-time, and two years of independent funding through Headius Enterprises. The post outlines a 30-minute conference talk covering JRuby's history and use cases — including high-scale parallelism, enterprise Java integration, Android/embedded deployment, and desktop/graphics applications. Additional events include a JRuby Hack Space at Community Day, a poolside cabana session, and a karaoke night. The post also promotes Headius Enterprises' commercial JRuby support services.
