Last night, as I had announced in my presentation at DemoCampMontreal4,John Lam of Microsoft released IronRuby on RubyForge. This implementation of Ruby for Microsoft’s DLR is written in C#.
The IronRuby team managed to add enhancements since the first sharing of the source code about a month ago, including:
* Comparable
* Enumerable
* Array
* Hash
* String (not quite complete yet)
* Dir
To get the source code, I had to go down to the SCM icon and then get the Subversion url:
svn checkout svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/ironruby
svn checkout http://ironruby.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/
I am using TortoiseSVN on WindowsXP and it works very well.
My previous post on Hacking IronRuby can come in handy. For more thoughts on IronRuby, check out my presentation report about DemoCampMontreal4.
Congratulations to John and the team for reaching the deadline of the end of August for this release.
Update
John has just released new instructions and a short and sweet screencast to show how to checkout and build IronRuby.
