_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 > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:ironruby-core- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Foord > Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2008 10:40 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] online console for IronRuby...
