Introducing Rubinius X

Java and .NET are also backed by ginormous corporations (Oracle and Microsoft), which big business also generally views as a major risk-mitigating factor.

(It isn't really -- in fact it's the opposite, "corporate" platforms tend to die out faster than open-source ones, at least in my experience -- but they think it is, which in this discussion is all that matters.)

This is a big deal. Particularly for risk mitigation and CYA when something goes wrong. No one got fired for buying IBM, as was once said.

Also, let's not forget about IBM, HP, RedHat and all the other shops that back Java

Heck, RedHat even has a big JRuby Application Server on top of JBoss.
