Ever wondered if a certain Ruby Gem works on JRuby? Wonder no more. I just launched IsItJruby.com, a community-driven Gem compatibility website. If you’re familiar with IsItRuby19.com, you’ll notice a lot of similarities (ie: blatant rip-off). It’s simply because I forked Brightbox’s GitHub project to build isitjruby.com. Brightbox should get all the credit.
Although I didn’t change the UI (because it’s so gorgeous already!), I added the following features:
- Gem page lists dependencies
- Warning when Gem contains C extensions (since they don’t work on JRuby)
- Ability to specify the JRuby version against which the Gem was tested
I accept patches, so fork away!

cool, tracking of threadsafety would be helpful, too

Nice, I’ve added a isitjruby gem which uses this.
