Hmm, Ruby and .NET are obviously a hot topic for people... A couple of comments to
the blog asked me if I'd seen Ruby.NET.
I have but one of the posts on John Lam's blog points to it, so I hadn't explicitly
mentioned it. But it is here if you want to take a look. It's pretty exciting and
can be used to compile Ruby into a compiled .NET assembly. Given it's capability I
hadn't downloaded it but then thought 'why not'. After a few minutes, I began to see
if I could load the various gems I have installed, but the -I option doesn't seem
to support wildcards. A couple of searches later didn't turn up an answer BUT...
... it did turn up SapphireInSteel. Oh
man, Ruby (and Rails) development within Visual Studio? Fantastic. The roadmap looks
to include Intellisense in a couple of releases, but we'll see what happens. Meantime,
I think it's a great use of the IDE. Amazing what turns up...
Oh, also on there is a great 'Little Book of Ruby' if you don't know the language
but want a quick guide - seems very useful.
