As Charlie mentioned somewhere else, JRuby is not Sun's, it belongs to
the community. That statement is entirely backed up by facts, but I'm
afraid that, at this stage, it isn' possible to claim the same for
IronRuby. This, coupled with the fact that ASP.NET and languages like C#
are clearly Microsoft's main interest, lead me to believe that IronRuby
is not living up to its full potential.
Nicely stated! Of course, as per my previous argument, I do believe
consideration needs to be made as to the difference between the outside >
in approach that JRuby represents and the inside > out approach
represented by IronRuby. None-the-less, there needs to be some faith
building exercises coming from the direction of MSFT that help bring a
better sense of community ownership to the project, that's without a doubt!
Microsoft has the resources and brilliant minds (e.g. John Lam) to
seriously reconsider its approach to this project, in order to really
let it take off.
Absolutely!
