What are some good online tutorials/quick starts/screencasts to get up to speed on Ruby development? I recently read Brad Wilson's Ruby article in the Sep/Oct 2008 issue of CoDe magazine and would like to continue down the Ruby/IronRuby path. (My background is mainly C# and .NET.) ...
While I know IronRuby isn't quite ready for the world to use it, I was wondering if anyone here tried it and tested how well it faired against the other Rubies out there in terms of raw performance? If so, what are the results, and how did you go about measuring the performance (which benchmarks etc)? Edit: The IronRuby team maintains ...
I'd like to take some time to learn more about dynamic languages built on top of the DLR and I'm not sure which language would be better to learn. Having limited time, I really only have time to look learn one of them. Any opinions on which of the two (Iron Ruby or Iron Python) would be more useful in the long run? Thanks! ...Ed ...

Hey guys, I just started to learn Ruby and as a .Net developer, I'm wondering if I should just go straight ahead and use IronRuby, without trying some pure Ruby first. What do you think? Will I be missing anything? -- rauchy ...
There are multiple Ruby implementations in the works right now. Which are you looking forward to and why? Do you actively use a non-MRI implementation in production? Some of the options include: Ruby MRI (original 1.8 branch) YARV (official 1.9) JRuby Rubinius IronRuby MagLev (Thanks Julian) ...
Is it possible to call managed code, specifically IronRuby or IronPython from unamanaged code such as C++ or Delphi? For example, we have an application written in Delphi that is being moved to C#.NET We'd like to provide Ruby or Python scripting in our new application to replace VBSCRIPT. However, we would need to provide Ruby/Python...
Hi Does anyone have some numbers on this? I am just looking for a percentage, a summary will be better. Standards compliance: How does the implementation stack up to the standard language specification? For those still unclear: I place emphasis on current. The IronPython link provided below has info that was last edited more than 2 ye...
What are the advantages/disadvantages of the major Ruby VMs (things like features, compatibility, performance, and quirks?) I know there are also some bonus features like being able to use Java interfaces through JRuby, too. Those would also be helpful to note. Does any VM have a clear advantage at this point, and in what contexts? ...
In the installation documentation to RoR it mentions that there are many limitations to running Ruby on Rails on Windows, and in some cases, whole libraries do not work. How bad are these limitations, should I always default to Linux to code / run RoR, and is Iron Ruby expected to fix these limitations or are they core to the OS itself?...
I'm wondering if it's possible to embed Ruby as a scripting language in Microsoft XNA, and what's the best way to do that. I'm looking for something like Xnua, except for Ruby. I've stumbled upon Ruby.NET and IronRuby and both seem to be in very early stages, so I'm not sure how usable they are. Furthermore, I'm not sure if they'd work...
Which IDE if any, are people using to develop Ironruby in? ...

I have scanned 'the Google' and have not found the definitive answer on whether the Iron* languages (any or all) will end up with Attribute support.. Anyone? Thanks - Jon ...
I'm curious about how .NET will affect Python and Ruby applications. Will applications written in IronPython/IronRuby be so specific to the .NET environment, that they will essentially become platform specific? If they don't use any of the .NET features, then what is the advantage of IronPython/IronRuby over their non .NET counterpar...
I can't seem to compile ironruby in ruby 1.8.7. I always get this error: no such file to load -- windows/path Does this mean that ironruby is not compatible with ruby 1.8.7? ...
The way you seem to declare WCF services is to create an interface in C# or VB, and then tag it with ServiceContractAttribute and it's methods with OperationContractAttribute. The issue is, I'd like to try creating one from IronRuby or IronPython, which (to my knowledge) don't support attributes. Is this possible? ...
Hi, I am trying to return a CLR object from Iron Ruby. I have the following CLR type defined in C# public class BuildMetaData { public string Description { get; set; } } I have the following IronRuby file: $:.unshift(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../bin/Debug') require 'mscorlib' require 'Horn.Core.DSL.Domain' class MetaDataFact...
Hi, I am trying to create a Dsl which will have instances that live in individual Dsl .rb files and then run them from the CLR. I want to create and set the values of the Clr object in IronRuby and then somehow have access to the CLR object after the .rb Dsl instance file has run. Here is my Clr object which is very simple at the mome...
