We licensed the Ruby.net codebase earlier this year, and we are using the scanner and parser from Ruby.net in IronRuby today. This helped us bootstrap our efforts, and we know that we have acquired a good scanner and parser that is already highly compliant with MRI[.]A compliant Ruby parser is a big part of a Ruby implementation, and using Ruby.NET's parser surely saves the IronRuby team a lot of work.
Since the last release we have added support for interoperability with other .NET languages, so that components developed using other .NET languages can conveniently use classes implemented using Ruby.NET and vice versa.An example for this is shown with a Ruby class that's used in C# code. The Ruby class:
class Person
def init(name, age)
@name = name
@age = age
end
def print()
puts "#{@name} is #{@age}"
end
end
Person bruce = new Person();
bruce.init("Bruce", 42);
bruce.print();
We will soon be moving to a more traditional open source model of community contribution to our code base and will be calling for volunteer developers. If anyone has any experience in managing that kind of process, we'd be interested in your input.In light of recent doubts about IronRuby, and the the fact that over the past year, many Ruby runtime developers have been hired to work on their projects (JRuby, XRuby, Rubinius, IronRuby), .NET Open Source developers with an interest in Ruby might want to look into this.
