About a week ago Scott G over a MS blogged about the pre-alpha release of IronRuby. Very cool stuff.

For those that don’t know, IronRuby and friends (IronPython, JavaScript, Dynamic VB) is a project that is, like JRuby for Java, enabling Ruby to run on top of the .NET Framework. This means that your dynamic Ruby script can also have access to all the underlying .NET goodness (and badness). It will be very interesting to see how the performance is.

It is also really cool that they are doing Python and JavaScript as well. It’s like Phobos and JRuby all in one neat little package with a dash of python for good measure. Oh have I forgotten one of the languages? I can’t help but laugh when I see Dynamic VB.

Here is a code snippet from Scott’s post with some Ruby script using WPF - pretty cool stuff!
