Hi all,

I was wondering if ROR on IronRuby is ready for production use?

I googled it, but I couldn’t find something on it.

Thank you

If by production ready you mean will it run rails without blowing up.  
Then  
the answer is yes  
But the only way to know for sure is to run your test suite against  
IronRuby.

In addition to what Ivan has said - IronRuby still hasn’t reach version  
1.0,  
so I guess you can’t really say it’s ready for production.

I did an IronRuby on Rails presentation the other day and developed an  
entire blog application with IronRuby on Rails. Even though you don’t  
run  
into the rough edges during a presentation demo (hopefully!), I didn’t  
have  
any problems with IronRuby running rails and I did use various features  
of  
rails.

I’ll go out on a limb and say we’re really really close. I’ve been  
testing Rails for the past couple days, and thinks are just working.  
Once I get this new round of documentation completed (I’ll let the list  
know when), I’d love to see more people trying out their apps, and also  
trying to deploy on Windows.
