Although I'm not a .NET developer I always get excited about the work DLR team is doing at Microsoft. I watched a couple of videos from various Ruby conferences where John Lam showed the progress of IronRuby and Dynamic Language Runtime in general. The latest video I saw is from Ruby conf: http://rubyconf2008.confreaks.com/ironruby.html

Despite the fact that it's not fully compatible with a standard Ruby 1.8 implementation it looks pretty good and the .NET integration is very impressive. I wonder if someone used it in some real life projects.

It may tough to find a real world example at this stage as I don't believe that it has got to a production ready release yet.

Some people have used it in real world applications. And I include a bunch of samples with my book. for example in my github account you can find a mocker for ironruby, as well as an ironruby mvc implementation. My account is casualjim on github in the github account of thbar you'll find some more ironruby and .net stuff

I'm using it in the new AppMakerX code generator, which is being refined at present in a major consulting project prior to commercial release in 2010.

I'm using it to test the main WPF-based app used by journalists at the BBC... (an ironruby/cucumber/white combination).
