IronRuby
summary
IronRuby runs on the CLR and Mono, embeds into apps via the DLR hosting API, and executes Ruby code directly in Silverlight pages using IronRuby on Silverlight. Demos show a canvas app extended at runtime with Ruby scripts, timers and animations, and a Processing port. Performance hits: benchmarks claim 2x faster than MRI on the Ruby installer yet about 1.5x slower than JRuby, with require active_support roughly 4× slower than MRI; Visual Studio integration and startup improvements are planned.
