To back up a bit. I package Java why do I care about Python and Ruby? |

1. Its annoying as a user to fiddle with targets, short of doing a wild |
| 4 |
card and having multiple versions. |

|

2. Unlike most other languages. Java has support for other languages. |
| 7 |
Running PHP, Python, and Ruby on the JVM. |

Which in working with latest version of Ruby 2.4.x there was an API |
| 13 |
change, which broke a Spring dependency |

While other languages package just themselves. Not sure I have ever |
| 21 |
seen a perl, php, python or ruby package that supports Java. As in |
| 22 |
running Java code on perl, php, python, or ruby. At best its optional |
| 23 |
Java support. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Java is a different beast, and people run those languages in Java... |
| 26 |
And others, Groovy, Scala, Clojure, etc |
