dynamic languages at MIX 07

May 1, 2007

When Sun announced support for dynamic languages (more here ) everyone expected Microsoft to come up with something similar. And they sure did. Yesterday at MIX’07 the DLR (Dynamic-Language-Runtime) was announced. But it gets better. Among the list of languages that will make use of this is IronRuby (more on InfoQ ), a Ruby implementation for the CLR (or should I say DLR?). See more on Jim Hugunin’s blog here . If you want to play with the Alpha version of the DLR right now then go download IronPython 2.0 Alpha from here .
