This is reason why I'm also excited about IronRuby. I've looked at a lot of web frameworks, and Rails (and now to a degree Merb) still come out on top.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of larger organisations that require .NET solutions because that is the infrastructure they have - they don't really care what lanuage it uses, as long as it will run on IIS and talk to their MSQL server. For me, this isn't as much about the language as much as it is about the framework. ---------------------------------------------- Myles Eftos Mobile: +61-409-293-183 MadPilot Productions URL: http://www.madpilot.com.au Phone: +618-9467-7651 Fax: +618-9467-6289 Try our time tracking system: 88 Miles! http://www.88miles.net > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Aaron Junod > Sent: Monday, 10 March 2008 06:29 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] can i use asp.net just like C# and Vb.net > > Personally I'm more interested in the deployment story of > ruby frameworks in IIS.
