IronRuby Increases Open Source Involvement

Microsoft's IronRuby project is an interesting anomaly in the software world. On the one hand, it's a bona fide open source project aimed at a compliant implementation of Ruby, one of the most popular dynamic languages for open source projects. On the other hand, it's a product of Microsoft - who many still regard as an implacable foe of open source. At OSCON this week, the IronRuby team made a group of announcements that confirm their intent to be full members of the community, despite their corporate home.


News from RailsConf

The annual RailsConf just kicked off, and as usual for conferences, news of new releases is trickling out. This year's most significant changes include two new implementations of Ruby that can run Rails, a social performance-tuning application, and a new deployment scheme for larger applications.

All in all, these present a picture of a maturing Rails, readier than ever for serious use.
