Hi everyone. I’ve looked for this, but haven’t really found much  
information. Is there a way to statically compile an IronRuby program to  
an  
.exe or .dll? It can be done with IronPython, but I haven’t been able to  
find any information on how to do it with IronRuby. Thanks.

We don’t support precompilation yet. We might implement it post v1.0.
