This is a very interesting discussion. I'd like to add a few points: 1. VB is still MSFTs most widely used programming language (as mentioned by some seemingly knowledgeable MSFT guy on Hanselminutes podcast) 2. C# and VB will probably still out perform IronRuby when it is released 3. IMO, most .NET developers know very little about Ruby and even less about IronRuby right now. The impact of IronRuby will most likely have a direct relationship to the impact of Silverlight.
