Where is this "Microsoft killed IronRuby" thing coming from? Sure, the lead developer quit, but that doesn't mean it's officially been shut down, all support removed, etc... not to mention that it's an open source project. Did I just miss something?
- tzs 16y agoIt's open source, but without a fork it might not be feasible for outsiders to contribute. Some details here: http://evain.net/blog/articles/2010/08/07/on-ironruby http://evain.net/blog/articles/2010/08/07/on-ironruby
- petercooper 16y agoIt didn't kill it. It did something worse. It withdrew enough resources and manpower from the project to effectively kill it without saying as much. Now it's obvious why IronRuby was relicensed under the Apache License just a few weeks back.. no-one would have bothered picking up the reins if they hadn't.
