I've been promising myself for quite a while that i'd like to get involved in the challenge of adding an implementation of mocking and stubbing for CLR objects to ironruby.
It'd be really cool to have something equivalent to jtestr for .net development - mocks and stubs are one of the essential missing ingredients. I've worked on a number of java projects now where all of the tests were written in ruby (some MRI+selenium for acceptance tests but others jtestr for unit and integration tests) - it's a very gentle and sensible way to introduce of ruby to 'the enterprise'. That and using rake (on top of msbuild) for building .net applications which seems to be becoming increasingly popular (such as fluent nhibernate). Given the way interop works and how generally unfamilar I am with how the DLR works, perhaps it'd be diving into the deepest end first and I might drown but i'd be keen to at least do some remote pairing (skype, vnc, gobby, whatever - i'm in melbourne, australia) with anyone who's interested in trying to drive out some specific tasks.
