_why's Try Ruby project is remarkable not just for the technical aspects, but 
for the pedagogical aspects of it.

It should be straightforward to build a Silverlight implementation of Try Ruby 
that runs in the browser. In some ways, _why's latest project- Shoes is all 
about enabling this in a cross platform native app. However, it still requires 
installing native code on your machine, and requires more friction than Try 
Ruby today or a Silverlight version.

Anyone interested in trying to port _why's tutorials (I suspect the app would 
need to be written from scratch since Try Ruby executes Ruby code on the 
server).

BTW, this won't be possible until we have string-based eval working (ETA should 
be a couple of weeks if I believe Tomas' estimates :)

Thanks,
-John
