Ruby Tuesday #29 : Iron Ruby 0.5

IronRuby 0.5 was released last week – you can get it here.  Read Jimmy Schementi’s post for more info – I’d also recommend that you read his post about his presentation at RailsConf 2009.  For those of you exploring .NET 4, there’s a CTP of IronRuby available here (this version is roughly equivalent to the IronRuby 0.3 release. ) Having downloaded IronRuby 0.5, I set about following these instructions to run IronRuby on Rails – this is a sign of the progress that IronRuby is making.  It’s worth pointing out that there’s some info about deploying Ruby web apps via IIS and Rack in Jimmy’s RailsConf 2009 post.  Also released last week was version 0.91 of the DLR, which you can grab here.
