Vim actually links against the interpreter.  There is a lot of code in
Vim calling the C libraries for the languages that it currently
supports.  I don't know if it would be possible to do this with jruby,
but I know that jruby isn't currently supported.

That being said, this would probably be possible with Neovim, since
language support is external to the main code.  It might even be
supported without any changes, if jruby can load the neovim gem.
