Hi,

Is there a compile option available for IronRuby so that a script could  
be compiled and then re-executed repeatedly? The PythonEngine has a  
compile option that facilitates that and I’m trying to determine if  
IronRuby has an equivalent.

Thanks,

Aaron

Found it:

CompiledCode compiledScript =  
scriptScope.Engine.CreateScriptSourceFromString(script).Compile()
