• Dynamic Language Runtime

  I asked my Ruby question on the Castle Devel mailing list and Ayende pointed me to this. One of my first use cases for a Dynamic language on the CLR would be to have something like Rails ActiveRecord. Well my day just keeps getting better because I just noticed Dynamic ADO.net.   It is built around Ado.net entities, but I'm sure we'll be able to to adapt it to work with NHibernate and ActiveRecord. Good Stuff   Posted Apr 30 2007, 03:57 PM by chrisortman with no comments

• Silverlight all the rage

  I've seen a few posts come through google reader talking about silverlight. The thing that I haven't caught in any of the other posts is that Ruby is one of the supported languages! Taken from http://silverlight.net Microsoft® Silverlight™ is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web. Silverlight offers a flexible programming model that supports AJAX, VB, C#, Python, and Ruby, and integrates with existing Web applications. Silverlight supports fast, cost-effective delivery of high-quality video to all major browsers running on the Mac OS or Windows.   This makes me very excited   Update: Jonathan Edwards called it.  Update: Anders noticed this as well.  Posted Apr 30 2007, 11:46 AM by chrisortman with no comments
