Hi,

## I’m quoting the latest blog by ScottGu for Silverlight 2.0

## Developers can write Silverlight applications using any .NET language (including VB, C#, JavaScript, IronPython and IronRuby). We will ship Visual Studio 2008 and Expression Studio tool support that enables great developer / designer workflow and integration when building Silverlight applications.

In response to a comment posted to the above blog, ScottGu answered as  
below…

Hi Ming,

We’ll also support Silverlight development with VWD 2008.

Thanks,

## Scott

It clearly means, we shall be getting the IronRuby advantage on VWD2008  
as well, since IronRuby is one of the 5 languages helping you to build  
SilverLight 2.0.

Pl. correct me if i am wrong

I hope, what i understand is true.
