IronRuby does have the great advantage that it isn’t starting from scratch. The DLR provides an enormous amount of the infrastructure needed for creating a dynamic language on .NET and IronRuby is already well beyond ‘proof-of-concept’.

To those who doubt it is possible, take a look at how far IronPython has gone, operating within the same constraints (in fact with more constraints as IronRuby is more open to community contributions than IronPython is or was).

Thanks for the podcast! I’ll be listening to future episodes for sure. That was a great conversation with Scott, it’s interesting to hear his take on the Ruby vs. .net topic. I didn’t think he was so entrenched in the ruby space already, though..

Have fun at alt.net, I’d love to make it to one of those one of these days.

Thanks for the Rubiverse mention. I’m quite pleased with my conversation with Scott Bellware. His ALT.NET conference is this next weekend and I look forward to discussing Ruby with many of the .NET folks in attendance.

I’m listening to Craig Murphy’s podcast now. Great find!
