In the IR crew's defense, there is a lot you can do with IronRuby right now, that isn't practical otherwise. Sure the ruby libraries are great, and running Rails on .NET is cool. But I'm a .NET programmer, I don't really care that much about the ruby framework, I want the language in MY apps.<br>
<br>The .NET interop in IronRuby really works well, and makes a great way to control mountains of .NET code dynamically with a much more elegant language.<br><br>Good job guys!<br><br>On one level I agree though... It's about time for a binary release. It's hard to convince other people to look at something you have to grab from SVN and compile. Beta, alpha or CTP, I don't really care.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I was expecting a rapid growth on IronRuby keeping following things in<br>
my mind which i had preserved so far.<br>
<br>
(1) Ruby.Net code ( partially ) was licensed by MS to incorporate in to<br>
IronRuby<br>
<br>
(2) IronRuby was announced in last year Mix 2007 event ( almost a year<br>
now )<br>
<br>
(3) It was decided to place IronRuby on RubyForge for great support..<br>
<br>
Even with all this aspects... IronRuby Progress is dead slow.<br>
<br>
If a part of Ruby.Net was included, and if Ruby.Net can give a stable<br>
version, why IronRuby lacks Beta Stage so far. Its almost one year since<br>
IronRuby was announced in the Mix event last year, and the new Mix 2008<br>
is round the corner, still no news about Beta yet...<br>
<br>
If we add, (1) Ruby.Net Code + (2) Ruby Forge contribution + (3) Full<br>
time IronRuby Team support... this could have shaped very fast.<br>
<br>
Plan your work.... and workout your plans. This would have yielded<br>
better results so far. It seems there is something wrong with the exact<br>
tuning with DLR<br>
<br>
My simple question... "will there will ever be LINQ support with Dynamic<br>
language like IronRuby " still remains hanging.which shows the lack of<br>
correct tuning with other areas in .Net.<br>
<br>
Hoping to see Beta stage soon.<br>
<br>
( Let me clarify... I am totally in support with IronRuby, but the slow<br>
progress kills my enthusiasm )<br>
<br>
Just my 2 cents<br>
