Subject: Re: Anyone interested In IronRuby

Is IronRuby just like Ruby except you get the .Net platform?

If not, has MS contributed anything of what they have done to
"improve" the language to the ruby community?

Or If it is just like ruby + .Net, why didnt MS work with the
community to make the .Net stuff an extension to the real ruby,
instead of taking from the community and locking it to their platform?

Is this history repeating itself ? We don't like java because it is
controlled by sun. We cant make any money from it so lets take all the
good ideas sun has worked out do some improvements and call it our
own. (C#)
Or is it like... the list goes on and on.


Sorry about my grumpy attitude towards MS, but over the years I have
seen so much foul play from that company, so sometimes I feel the need
to cry out :)
