Indeed, I was somewhat imprecise. Thanks to the work mostly of Charles
Nutter, JRuby is invariably a faster platform for Ruby code than Ruby
is. So yes ASCIIDoctor is JVM-based via JRuby, not Java-based.

The real point here is that in a move from DocBook/XML as a
documentation source, ASCIIDoctor is an excellent choice.
