Jimmy Schementi: Inside IronRuby

Published November 23rd, 2009 Under Coding, Open Source Tools | Leave a Comment

Jimmy Schementi is a Program Manager (and developer) on the IronRuby team. IronRuby is an Open Source implementation of the Ruby programming language for .NET, heavily relying on Microsoft’s Dynamic Language Runtime. IronRuby is Ruby, but implemented on top of the DLR (which of course provides the capability for dynamic languages to interact with the BCL and CLR). Here, Jimmy explains the thinking behind the IronRuby project. Why are we doing this, anyway? When/Why would Ruby developers use IronRuby? What’s the current status of the project? What’s the future hold for IronRuby? Tune in and learn about the past, present and future of IronRuby.
