Managed to get this to work: Git pull'd latest IronRuby
VS'd build Release of both IronRuby, IronPython (the sources that are supplied) Going to demo at JAOO Brisbane this afternoon :-) -----Original Message----- From: users-boun...@lists.ironpython.com [mailto:users-boun...@lists.ironpython.com] On Behalf Of Tomas Matousek Sent: Tuesday, 12 May 2009 3:32 AM To: Discussion of IronPython Subject: Re: [IronPython] Running Ruby code from Python, which is running in Ruby "There are still some issues (running Python code in Ruby didn't seem to work)" If you run into any issues let us know - ideally file a bug at http://ironruby.codeplex.com or http://ironpython.codeplex.com including a repro. We would like to make the language interop as smooth as possible.

Blank Sent: Monday, May 11, 2009 10:06 AM To: Discussion of IronPython Subject: [IronPython] Running Ruby code from Python, which is running in Ruby Perhaps you've seen this, but I ran across Tomáš Matoušek's blog this weekend http://blog.tomasm.net/category/ironruby/ where he describes a little interactive Ruby shell that works something like: $ irb.exe repl.rb rb> class C rb| def say_hello caller rb| puts "#{caller} says hello to Ruby" rb| end rb| end => nil Now, he switches languages on the fly: rb> #py Now, from Python he imports and runs the Ruby class in Python: py> import C py> c = C() py> c.say_hello("Python") Python says hello to Ruby I thought I'd try this in the educational DLR editor/shell that we're developing in C# (at http://pyjamaproject.org/Pyjama ) and it works! There are still some issues (running Python code in Ruby didn't seem to work), and you need the latest drop of the DLR (I used 23458): http://www.codeplex.com/dlr/SourceControl/ListDownloadableCommits.aspx which isn't stable. But, the proof of concept is fantastic to see after all of the hard work. Best of all, the same DLLs allow all this to work on Linux and Mac OSX too, thanks to Mono. This means that you can write and compile a library *once* in whatever language you want, use it from other languages, on whatever operating system you want. Wow. Thank you to all those that are making this possible! (And more on our DLR IDE soon...) -Doug -- Douglas S.
