Differences between IronRuby and Matz’ Ruby/MRI RubyGems Community contributions Continuations/ObjectSpace RubySpec Singleton/Eigenclass on top of the DLR Interpreted vs. Compiled IDEs Rails Compatibility IActiveScriptHost and PowerShell
Thanks again to John for discussing IronRuby. I look forward to getting my hands on the IronRuby bits on July 28th. Especially after Scott Hanselman refused to let me take the IronRuby bits at RailsConf! ;) Additional Interviews You can hear more about what John has to say about IronRuby here:
