This is going to be a nice competition between you and Sapphire in Steel

Actually, Sapphire in Steel is a Visual Studio plug-in for Ruby,<br>
it is not a Ruby compiler for .NET. So they are not competitors in <br>
that regard.<br><br>
However, in a separate Microsoft sponsored project we are working<br>
on a simple managed framework for integrating third party languages<br>
such as Ruby into Visual Studio (based on lex and yacc like
specifications).<br><br>
