IronRuby
summary
Demo shows embedding IronRuby into a WPF app by loading five assemblies, calling Ruby.CreateEngine, switching to interpreter mode, evaluating code and returning live objects to C#, requiring Ruby viewer scripts and monkey‑patching .NET types to produce GUI renderers. C# 4 dynamic and the DLR enable calling Ruby classes from C#; a compiled helper assembly (reel.dll) adds a DefaultProtocol attribute for automatic protocol conversions. Status: 93% language spec, 78% library, ~1.4MB compressed shipped, mixed performance and higher memory than JRuby.
