I think this is great.  If they are succesful it would mean that I can
comply with people who require things like 'Scaleable Enterprise
Solutions' and projects built on 'Proven Technologies', all the while
using a language that doesn't feel like crawling over broken glass.

Really, I think it's to everyone's advantage that JRuby and Ruby.net
mature.  It means we have the option of using ruby in more places, and
who can argu with that?

I have little love for Microsoft, but come on, the very worst that
happens is that there is another project you don't need to use.  I
believe that there is Iron Python (or something like that) for CLR, and
I haven't seen Python collapse into a burning heap of rubble for it.

I say, best of luck to them, and I eagerly await something fun to play
with.
