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.
