Hi, Its no secret that IronRuby shall Run Rails to prove a total implementation for declaring IronRuby 1.0
Its a great going by IronRuby team, and i can see work progressing in this direction. But things have changed a lot recently... " Merb" a new framework for Ruby, has taken a right step in the direction of creating a perfect MVC, with Rails as an inspiration, but removing few drawbacks of Rails as well. It has added many outstanding features, which are worth considering. Merb can now work with any 3 of ORM's ( Active Record, DataMapper and Sequel) rather than Active Record as an only ORM offered by Rails. Now...On the other hand DataMapper is also considered a strong competitor to Active Record as it has added few advantages over Active Record So.... Merb, rather than limiting itself to one ORM is offering much more than Rails. I think... IronRuby team should consider this option too, and change their milestone from Rails to Merb, after seeking many suggestions on this forum. PLUS.... LINQ to SQL also cannot be neglected at this stage, and it should be considered as well, not forgetting SubSonic. So its possible that IronRuby can easily support atleast 5 ORM's at this stage, in their first version. This are just my views, correct me if i am wrong.
