Write-up of the IronRuby RailsConf 2009 talk: http://blog.jimmy.schementi.com/2009/05/ironruby-at-railsconf-2009.html Hightlights:
- IronRuby runs real Rails applications: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jschementi/3530612930/ o Along with other Ruby web frameworks: http://lh3.ggpht.com/_OqCZhp9yI0Q/Sgyx4NBKY3I/AAAAAAAAAJc/LUzrGgDM_0Q/s1600-h/ir-info%5B6%5D.png - Using ActiveRecord outside of Rails is useful for simple database interaction (migrations, for example), and in WinForms databinding with ActiveRecord. - New project to enable deploying Rack-based applications on IIS with IronRuby: http://github.com/jschementi/ironruby/tree/master/Merlin/Main/Hosts/IronRuby.Rack - Direct integration with ASP.NET through ironruby-mvc: http://github.com/jschementi/ironrubymvc - Special thanks to contributors and starting projects based on IronRuby: http://github.com/ironruby/ironruby-contrib o More information on contributing to IronRuby: http://wiki.github.com/ironruby/ironruby/contributing - Project statics on http://ironruby.info: 84% RubySpec pass-rate. - Startup performance has also been a focus of improvement as of late, and by building an adaptive interpreter/compiler (like IronPython now has) Rails startup time decreased from about 85 to 30 seconds (2.8x improvement), without sacrifice for throughput performance! ~Jimmy
