Subject: Re: Microsoft brings Ruby to the browser?

About 5/6 of the way through this demonstration (using a Safari 
browser),
Ruby is shown running directly in the browser alongside Python, Jscript
and Visual Basic. They are being used to manipulate a XAML canvas.

The downloadable alpha 1.1 version of this "DLRConsole" at
(http://silverlight.net/community/communitygallery.aspx)
has only Python and Jscript however. Ruby will be released "later".

Many more details are in this interesting talk between John Udell
and John Lam.  http://channel9.msdn.com/Showpost.aspx?postid=304541

The Adobe guys aren't too impressed. Ted Patrick (Flex Evangelist) says

How complete is it?  Time will tell.
