Hi,

just curious here, and willing to try out things! Is there any way -  
even complicated - to code Silverlight bits with IronRuby today ?

John M. usually works some spooky magic incantations to get us a  
build of SL that works with IronRuby. That happens whenever we need to  
demonstrate progress. Short answer is that we can, but only with private  
builds of SL (AFAIK).

However, we should just work out of the box with the next time a public  
release of SL ships (which should be at MIX 08).

If you happen to release a private build of those once in a while,  
please drop a line ! It will be most welcome.

That would be great.

thanks for your answer!

Unfortunately, we can’t build IronRuby against the SL 1.1 alpha release.  
Our current sources target the next public release, which is coming  
soon.
