For those who haven’t seen this, Oleg T., one of the XML MVP’s,  
hacked together a 0.first.hack version of the “Try Ruby in Your Browser”  
demo last night. \> [Hacking IronRuby - Signs on the Sand](http://www.tkachenko.com/blog/archives/000742.html)

From what I can tell, this doesn’t use Silverlight in any way, shape,  
or form \> [http://www.ironruby.info/ir/](http://www.ironruby.info/ir/) \< sending each command back to  
the server for processing. Not sure how he’s handling state, but it  
certainly seems to be handling state management just fine.

Great News!

It seems IronRuby is moving ahead now…

It was dull to see nothing happening with IronRuby since last few  
months.

NOW… it seems, world around IronRuby is on Fast Track.

Thanks for posting it here.  
This is just [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) page hosting Ruby runtime server side. Probably  
Silverlight would be a better fit here, at least then the worst you  
could do is to crash your browser instead of server.  
Hey, we can build complete Ruby IDE with Silverlight!

I like the way you think, Oleg! Let’s sync up offline about this very  
topic…
