Charlie Nutter's project, currently called Duby, allows you to write Ruby code and have it compile to Java class files.<p>He wants to rename the project to something with less of a drug connotation and is looking for suggestions. Feel free to post your thoughts here or on the Duby mailing list.<p>There are also about 15 open issues that he could use some help with, if anyone has time.<p>http://kenai.com/projects/duby
