Just a taster of the work we are doing on IntelliSense…

This relates specifically to .NET IntelliSense. We already have a fast  
and pretty complete IntelliSense engine for Ruby (which we wrote from  
the ground up which means that it has no reliance on ruby.exe and will  
work just as well with IronRuby).

There are still quite a few things we need to hammer out in our .NET  
IntelliSense - in particular, we need to clarify a few details of  
precisely how the two class hierarchies (.NET and Ruby) will co-exist.  
Still, this is a promising first step, I think 😉

best wishes

Looks good, Huw! Maybe we should have delayed VS 2008 / slowed down the  
install a bit more so that you guys could have gotten more done 🙂
