Hi, I believe IronRuby is making good progress, though i do not get to see any news on progress. Blogs and informative details are totally missing regarding the DLR and Ironruby progress. Can any one confirm, whether we shall be getting Ruby on Rails or IronRuby on Rails with the final version of IronRuby.Is it really worth waiting for IronRuby or it would be nice to switch to original Ruby on Rails immediately, without wasting many more months with a hope…? I have read few good information in the [ruby.net](http://ruby.net) VS IronRuby discussion recently, but that discussion was too far to cover the Ruby on Rails support with IronRuby. The only positive answer i could found was an interview of John L. on akitaonrails, where he was positive for Rails support with IronRuby. But even that was not a promise, it was just a hope Can some one on the developer team please focus on this. I think this would be really great if we can get it working on IronRuby. Thanks SoftMind. ---

If you want to try Ruby on Rails, I don’t understand why anyone would wait for IronRuby to run it. When IronRuby runs it, it will run it in identical manner with classic Ruby, so everything you learned while trying Ruby on Rails with classic Ruby will not be wasted. ---

We have always maintained that we will run Rails. It wouldn’t be Ruby if it couldn’t run Rails. Thanks, -John ---

Plain Ruby on Rails will drag me to LAMP world, which i do not want. I love Ruby and I think it can do wonders as IronRuby. I need to dive in to get proper information and a right move in the right direction. O.K… Since now i have a confirmation from Mr. John L., this has made my day and now i can relax and study more hard on this direction and get ready for future when IronRuby actually arrives. Thanks
