JRuby was faster than MRI for a while; I don't know if that's still
true.

Probably not unless you need the speed boost or need to run on top of
Java (you can use RJB to talk to Java without JRuby). I find JRuby more
of a hassle to use than MRI, though I'm glad it exists for those few
cases where it's necessary.

Java and to some degree .Net are the main choices because they have been consistently pegged as the “safe” choice to go with for mid-level project managers in the corporate world. No one was ever fired for choosing Java or Microsoft.
However, there are many large distributed applications these days that run primarily with technologies like Python, PHP, et al. Even companies like Google and Yahoo are heavily invested in these technologies. Java may be the main choice for enterprise development now, but it’s days are numbered as the only stalwart option to go with.
Let’s face it, many of these so called “enterprise applications” could easily have been written much faster and with less overhead using technologies like Python, PHP, et al.
