John walked through some of the cool stuff they are doing with IronRuby. He started out showing how you can host the ruby engine in a C# application, in just a couple lines of code he wrote a WPF irb clone. He also showed how with C# 4.0 you can run the ruby engine, send it code, then reach in and get specific variables and pull them back out (using the dynamic keyword). He went on to show acce...

Summary In this presentation from the JVM Languages Summit 2008, Mads Torgersen discusses LINQ, declarative programming and metaprogramming in C#, examples of LINQ syntax and usage, lazy evaluation of LINQ queries, extension methods, lambda expressions, LINQ-to-SQL, LINQ expressions and metaprogramming, expression trees, how the .Net Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR) works, PLINQ, and the future o...

Summary In this interview from RubyFringe, John Lam talks about his work on IronRuby and how Microsoft is approaching Open Source software development. Bio John Lam is Program Manager on the Dynamic Language Runtime team at Microsoft. He created RubyCLR, and is now working on the team that is creating IronRuby, Microsoft's implementation of Ruby.

Summary At RubyFringe John Lam talks about his path to dynamic languages, some of the problems of making IronRuby run fast, and how the DLR helps with implementing languages. Bio John Lam John works on the IronRuby project at Microsoft. IronRuby is an Open Source implementation of Ruby that runs real Ruby programs.

The one post of the conference that might really interest the majority of my readers. John talked about joining Microsoft, working on some earlier Ruby bridges and RubyCLR, and overall did a pretty good job as a Microsoft speaker in front of an open source Ruby crowd. He used some good self-depreciating humor and even wore a devil tail. He covered the main goals of the project, one of which is ...

This video shows how dynamic languages such as Ruby, Python, Jscript and Visual Basic can be used to create Silverlight applications using the Dynamic Language Runtime.

The web was built using dynamic languages. Their plain-text format made it easy to mash up scripts to create the next great app. Similarly, dynamic languages will find a home in Silverlight applications where plain-text formats are common. Silverlight can be easily deployed, which means that a wider range of dynamic languages will be used in building browser-hosted applications. In this demo-ce...
