"are there any examples of these amazing things you can do in JRuby that you can't do in PHP?"
A big one, you can use native threads.
you can also grab a java machine learning library and use it directly in jruby, you can use lucene directly in your process, you can write hadoop jobs in jruby without using the streaming api, etc, etc.
Just think of java libs that don't exist in php and that's the benefit.
