Hi, For current ironruby, can we use it to compile a ruby source code into exe and release it to other person to run it? If it is possible, the other person need to install .net framework + anything else? Thanks in advance. sgwong ---

No. You can with [Ruby.NET](http://Ruby.NET), but as far as I understand things correctly, support from IronRuby, if it happens, will come after the 1.0 release. – /M:D M. David P.
