IronRuby to ship at OSCON this year

In the end, I think that it’s important to judge our effort based on the code that we ship. We’re going to ship our first CodePlex release of IronRuby at OSCON this year.

There has been a lot of speculation about Microsofts intentions towards ~~our daughter~~ Ruby. Will they try to turn Ruby into Ruby++ the same way they tried with Java? John has been VERY transparent about the process and his intentions. I can safely say that if the project gets derailed (pun intended) in any way, that it won’t be because of John Lams efforts.

That being said, I have no idea how Rails would work inside the CLR. Would your Rails app run as a service on the server? Would it be a new type that gets filtered and executed by ASP.NET?

Perhaps it would work like it does in JRuby…which is to say, basically like it works in regular C Ruby?

Charles: That’s obvious, but I think OP was asking about alternative deployment options besides the crap that is WEBrick, like Rails app as WAR which JRuby makes possible as an alternative.

Charles,

Seo is thinking more along the lines that I am. What’s the deployment mechanism for Rails under IronRuby? Is it a pre-compiled ASP.NET Assembly? Will ASP.NET be extended to .RAILS file types or something? Will it be as simple as implementing an IHttpHandler? Is the Rails app “compiled” into a Windows service that uses Mongrel to serve the Rails pages?

Lots of questions and possibilities. I look forward to more posts by John and other members of the team.
