So IronRuby has been
released in a pre-alpha state... check out the comments on John Lam's post for some additional details not in the post itself.
c:\dev\resources\IronRuby-Pre-Alpha1\Bin\Release>rbx.exe
IronRuby Pre-Alpha (1.0.0.0) on .NET 2.0.50727.312
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
>>> class RubyAlpha
... def hello
... puts "Hello"
... end
... end
=> nil
>>> r = RubyAlpha.new()
=> #<RubyAlpha:0000002b>
>>> r.hello
Hello
=> nil
>>>
Things of interest:
- Lots of stuff doesn't work just yet ;o)
- it will end up on Rubyforge, not Codeplex... and I think it's quite an appropriate decision considering the nature of the project... good to see common sense winning over marketing dogma - and it's going to be there by the end of August.
- The project will eventually be entirely open to community contributions (I don't think that includes the code making up the DLR itself, as a shared platform that's probably something that needs to be tightly controlled)
