IronRuby at the Portland Code Camp

Posted at Thu, 13 Jul 2006 06:04:02 GMT by Wilco Bauwer

Next week I'll be giving a presentation about IronRuby at the Portland Code Camp v2.0. It'll be the first time for me at a code camp. Although I have an idea of what the presentation might look like, I'd like to hear from you what your expectations are. Do you care about compiler construction? The potential of integration between Ruby and the CLR? Do you want me to talk about things at a relatively high level to let you see the big picture? Or just show some demos? Everything I just said? You name it. This is your chance to speak up.

Please create the compiler od Ruby to be runs in .NET.its appreciated
How goes IronRuby? I was wondering the other day: maybe you could have a lookup translator to Ruby-ize the naming conventions of .NET? So, for example:

DateTime::leap_year? 2006

would first check for a DateTime::leap_year? method, then a DateTime::is_leap_year, then DateTime::IsLeapYear.

From my understanding, the reason that Ruby uses underscores is for people who use other alphabets: they have trouble breaking up the words based on capitals; I think that makes a lot of sense, so it would be nice if you could cater towards Ruby programmers (and thus their naming conventions).

BTW, just noticed this: nice CAPTCHA! I like the idea of a logic-based system (although it wouldn't be that hard to write a script to submit a request to quickmath.com and grab the answer)...

1 more vote for the Ruby to CLR compiler....
does this ironruby source code compiles and runs on mono on linux???
that will be of interest for us.
bye :-)
