Ruby.NET 0.9 Released
While everybody and their sister is busy celebrating the release of VS2008, a more interesting* release happened -- the first community release of Ruby.NET (version 0.9). This is another step in the languages trend I discussed here a few weeks ago.
The release is said to have a lot of improvements yet to come, however. For instance, Ruby.NET isn't yet running Rails. Hopefully we'd have that soon. Another thing I would love to have is to be able to use Ruby's testing frameworks like Mocha to test .NET classes (which already works for Java and JRuby). Well I am off to test that now :) -- you can do that too, if you download the bits.
By the way, you may also want to read the paper discussing the design of Ruby.NET (by Wayne Kelly and John Gough who started this project).
