anyone know any good IronRuby specific forums? And am curious, how  
does the general community feel about this brand in general?

IronRuby allows for interesting stuff, but being Win-only is bad, I mean  
it  
kills all the interest for some.

I was involved with a guy at MS and Wayne Seguin for a while on how to  
integrate it into RVM, by doing a source build using Mono. It didn’t  
work,  
and MS is apparently happy at supplying binaries only (and I can  
understand, they can’t support Mono as well).

If it can grow out of Windows land, it’ll be more interesting - and  
prospects are good, since the DLR is open source now (right?). But for  
now,  
I find JRuby or Rubinius more interesting as alternatives to the big 3  
(MRI, REE and JRuby).

Best wishes,

Actually, I meant Maglev or Rubinius 🙂

The more ruby the better, as far as I’m concerned 🙂
