JRuby - The Pain of Broken Subprocess Management on JDK - 1 views

jurodiigo on 26 Mar 14I prefer to write happy posts...I really do. But tonight I'm completely defeated by the JDK's implementation of subprocess launching, and I need to tell the world why. JRuby has always strived to mimic MRI's behavior as much as possible, which in many cases has meant we need to route around the JDK to get at true POSIX APIs and behaviors.
