IronRuby is an upcoming implementation of the Ruby programming language targeting Microsoft .NET framework. It is implemented on top of the Dynamic Language Runtime, a library running on top of CLR 2.0 that provides dynamic typing and dynamic method dispatch, among other things, for dynamic languages.[citation needed]

History

On April 30, 2007, at MIX 2007, Microsoft announced IronRuby, which uses the same name as Wilco Bauwer's IronRuby project with permission.[3] It was planned to be released to the public at OSCON 2007.[4]

On July 23, 2007, as promised, John Lam and the DLR Design Team presented the pre-Alpha version of the IronRuby compiler at OSCON. He also announced a quick timeline for further integration of IronRuby into the open source community.[5]

On August 31, 2007, John Lam and the DLR Design Team released the code in its pre-alpha stage on RubyForge.[6] The source code has continued to be updated regularly by the core Microsoft team (but not for every check-in). The team also does not accept community contributions for the core Dynamic Language Runtime library, at least for now.[7]

On July 24, 2008, the IronRuby team released the first binary alpha version, in line with OSCON 2008.[8] On November 19, 2008, they released a second Alpha version.

The team actively worked to support Rails on IronRuby.[9][10] Some Rails functional tests start to run, but a lot of work still needs to be done to be able to run Rails in a production environment.[11].

On May 21, 2009, they released 0.5 version in conjunction with RailsConf 2009. With this version, IronRuby can now run some Rails applications, but still not on a production environment[12].

Version 0.9 was announced as OSCON 2009.[13] This version will drastically improve performance.[14]

Version 1.0 RC1 became available on 20th November 2009.[15] It reports as version 0.9.3, but it is the 1.0 RC1 release.

Mono support

IronRuby may run as well on Mono as it does on Microsoft Common Language Runtime (CLR)[16], but as the IronRuby team only tests it with the CLR on Windows.[17], it may not build on Mono depending on the build[18][18][19][20]

.NET interoperability

The interoperability between IronRuby classes and regular .NET Framework classes is very limited for the moment because many Ruby classes are not .NET classes.[21] However, better support for dynamic languages in .NET 4.0 may increase interoperability in the future.[22]

IronRuby is released under the Microsoft Public License, which is OSI-certified and close to a BSD-style license.[23]
