Speaking for me personally it opens some doors that would remain closed if it isn't from microsoft.
I see ASP.NET MVC as something like "Enterprise" rails. Some of the places I go to to consult classify themselves as being Microsoft shops, which is their good right but it also means that they have a broad but limited set of options to choose from. Currently I use castle for most of my .NET work and I get the same type of objection as I get for rails and it basically boils down to if it isn't from Microsoft we don't trust/want/look at it. That would be one of the biggest reasons for me. Asp.NET can also be interesting in cases where I want to use some more complex controls and I don't want to spend a lot of time learning yet another new definitive javascript framework to get that functionality. It integrates on a lot more backend systems and isn't opinionated on how you should design your database. I can keep my old stuff but start adding new things in IronRuby without the application throwing a fit. I can start unit testing with RSpec .... These are just a couple of points from the top of my head, and before my monday morning coffee, I'm sure there are a whole bunch of other reasons. It would be interesting to see for me too what people think and how they plan on using it. my 2c Ivan On Mon, Mar 10, 2008 at 5:37 AM, John Lam (DLR) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Rahil Kantharia: > > > Can i work with asp.net, as easily with ironruby as asp.net works today > > with C# and Vb.net. > > This is on the roadmap, and will be an important part of our .NET Interop > story.
