Hi

I’ve created a rack-xapper gem

[http://github.com/casualjim/rack-xapper](http://github.com/casualjim/rack-xapper)

It does basically the same thing as chiron but for any rack based  
application.

## It’s still a work in progress, it doesn’t have support for slvx stuff yet but for a silverlight 2 batteries included type of approach it should do its job.

Ivan,

While this is very cool, the need for a xap is now not required for  
silverlight apps; the “gestalt” app-model is now merged into  
microsoft.scripting.silverlight.dll and will be the default in upcoming  
builds.

More info about this coming soon, and the gestalt webpage will point to  
the new ironruby site for all the info. But you’ll see an announcement  
from me.
