State of IronRuby
summary
IronRuby claims a reasonably complete Ruby on the DLR that runs on CLR Mono and Silverlight, exposes .NET types (ArrayList, generics) with Ruby-style methods, and accepts community patches under the Microsoft Public License. A Silverlight demo implemented entirely in Ruby actually runs. Spec coverage shows ~90% of array specs passing while overall failures remain (hundreds failing, ~373 noted). Performance history notes earlier IronPython timings (4.8× then 2.8× vs MRI); roadmap targets running Rails by RailsConf.
