It is absolutely our intention to enable Rails running on IronRuby. If Rails doesn't run, how could our implementation be considered a compatible implementation?

BTW, our goals (in priority order) are:

1. Create a 1.8.x compatible implementation modulo continuations
2. Enable great two-way .NET interop
3. Have good performance characteristics

Thanks,
