Microsoft releases initial code for IronRuby


      Continuing to warm up to Web developers, Microsoft released an early version of IronRuby, which will let programmers write .Net applications with the Ruby language.
      In tandem with the "first code drop" of IronRuby, Microsoft will be taking code contributions from outsiders, John Lam, program manager on the Common Language Runtime team at Microsoft, wrote in his blog on Monday.
      Lam said that the company intends to fully release IronRuby on RubyForge and take a wider range of contributions by the end of August. The software is available under the open-source style Microsoft Permissive License.
      IronRuby uses the Dynamic Languages Runtime which the company introduced at its Mix 07 Web developer and design conference in May of this year. The runtime allows people to use dynamic, or scripting, languages to write .Net applications.
      Other languages that Microsoft intends to support include Python, JavaScript (EcmaScript 3.0), and Visual Basic. Continue At Source
