It isn't like Microsoft made it particularly easy for developers to use IronRuby though. Look at these two popular Connect issues to have IronRuby and IronPython integrated with VS 2010: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/475830/ironpython-integration https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/... http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/479957/ironruby-integration-in-visual-studio-2010 http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/4... While its sad that it takes IDE integration, the truth is that it really does and that Microsoft knows it. So its hard to say it didn't have the enough people using it, when they never did the 1 thing they really had to do to give it a chance.
