John Lam (Microsoft Program Manager) About IronRuby
- trezor 18y agoI more of a C# developer than a Ruby developer, but I must admit I find the feat of building dynamic languages on top of the CLR (which really requires quite strict type-safety) pretty impressive. I'll take his word for it though that the Ruby community at large probably is mostly Mac and Linux-dominated and hence goes a little bit "meh" at this effort. Knowing the general Linux-community (or anti-MS community if we want to be extreme) I'm a little bit sceptical about how or if this will change. I do however see his point about client-side Ruby for rails application and such being a selling point. If that applies to the current Ruby-community? We'll see how it turns out.

Except there seems to be a weird But It's Java! revulsion in some of the Ruby communities.
