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.
