“Microsoft has released early code for its Ruby-on-.NET scripting  
language  
during a week of actively courting developers and community feedback.  
Four months after announcing IronRuby, Microsoft has released source  
code  
for the .NET scripting language under the Microsoft Permissive License  
(MPL). Microsoft is also accepting source code contributions to the  
IronRuby  
libraries.  
IronRuby and its libraries will be offered to the community’s RubyForge  
site  
by the end of August, for download and further contributions.”

Nah, I missed the smiley. My mistake. Mono. [Gnu.NET](http://Gnu.NET). A couple of  
others. I rather doubt that IronRuby, by virtue of being CLRed, is  
going to lock the world into MS even if MS somehow gets to Matz and  
wrests control of Ruby away from him.
