I’ve just put online a short walkthrough demo of our form designer for
IronRuby. I thought people might be interested to take a look…

Hi Huw,
This looks awesome! Can’t wait to try it out. BTW, are you here at
RubyConf this weekend?

I wish!
Nope, I shall be sweating over a hot keyboard as usual, I’m afraid.
That’s the bad news. The good news is that we are now making good
progress with our IronRuby support!
If you can just get those delegate/event-handlers sorted out we’d be
really happy 
There also are one or two other issues that either you
or we need to smooth out (e.g. we are having problems with a few
properties such as docking). It’s probably a bit too early to worry
about those sorts of details but, a bit later on, perhaps we can get you
a beta version and go through any thingss we need to do to smooth off
any rough edges?

Please feel free to send it along. We’ll definitely see what we can do
to help make it easier for you to integrate with us.
Keep in mind though that the DLR hosting interfaces are still in flux,
so it will likely be Jan before we finalize what those look like.
Thanks!

Just watched it. Great job!
It looks like you’ve got syntax coloring working already. Do you have an
ETA for Intellisense support for the native .NET types?
Thanks,

The syntax coloring, code folding etc is already in place as we have it
all for our current Ruby environment. None of this depends on
information supplied by the Ruby interpreter, so moving it over to
IronRuby was very simple.
We’ve been looking at .NET IntelliSense and this will be a lot easier
to implement than Ruby IntelliSense was. Naturally we can do Ruby
IntelliSense today as we already have Ruby IntelliSense in Ruby In
Steel. Once again, none of our Intellisense depends on ruby.exe - we’ve
implemented the entire code analysis system ourselves - so it is easy
for us to move it into our IronRuby IDE. We think we’ll be able to demo
a system that has both .NET and Ruby code completion for IronRuby pretty
soon now. Can’t give you an exact date but it’s going to be weeks, not
months
