Hi, I was keen to read the great support for Dynamic languages in the New and Most discussed .Net 3.5 SP1. It was strange to see that there was no discussion at all about Dynamic Languages. It was avoided in such a manner that IronRuby does not exist at all. When everything was discussed about… MVC Preview 3, Dynamic Scaffolding, Routing etc… it was strange to see that How come IronRuby is not considered or discussed at all when all this Inspirations have started with Ruby and Rails and Just my views. ---

IronRuby will be part of the next major release of Visual Studio. It won’t be part of the Service Pack. -John ---

What’s happened to ModuleOps::extended in revision 103? (it appears to have been removed) Kernel::extend calls “extended”, so modules need a default implementation. Cheers, Wayne. ---

I have no idea why … maybe I screwed something up in a merge. In any event, I’ve put it back in the next release. Thanks, -John ---

We don’t comment on future release dates. IronRuby 1.0 will ship before the next version of VS, but an updated version will ship in the next version of VS. Thanks, -John ---

This is really something that the specs should pick up, no? ---

Today we use the specs as a regression test mechanism. We generate a baseline ‘clean’ (all specs pass), and we use that to detect regressions. I suspect that we didn’t enable the specs for #extend when they were checked in, so it didn’t get picked up our baseline clean test pass. Thanks, -John ---
