Thanks for the response. So let me ask you this. If you were to
start building a project and wanted to leverage existing libraries out
there, would you manually install them to your iron ruby install
directory? Or just add them into a gems folder in your project - like
what merb does with frozen gems?

As far as I know you can't use gems yet in IronRuby and that's also
why there is no example with unit tests etc. It can't be done atm.
IronRuby has a minispec framework built in but that isn't as fully
featured as rspec for example.
Basically building stuff with IronRuby is the same as with Ruby only
now you can use everything from .NET too.

As a workaround, use globals instead (eg $x = 42 instead of x = 42).

If you're looking for the "Ruby way" of doing things then there are
plenty of libraries and ruby projects that you can study, for me
personally there is not much difference between programming against
either. If you already know .NET it's just a matter of getting the
hang of Ruby like where and when to use metaprogramming, embracing
hashes etc. For example:
class Member
attr_accessor :name, :age, :marital_status, :children
def initialize(options)
options.each do |key, value|
instance_variable_set "@#{key}", value
end
end
end
member = Member.new :name => "Joe Schmoe", :age =>
27, :marital_status => :married, :children => 2.1
puts member.name
Or you can take existing .NET classes and extend them
module StringExtensions
def to_uri
System::Uri.new self
end
end
require 'mscorlib'
class System::String
include StringExtensions
end
or
System::String.include StringExtensions
Check out ironruby-contrib on github that should hold at least 2
projects that go further than 'hello world'.

I'm wondering if anyone can point me to some good example projects
using IronRuby. Specifically I'm looking for libraries and projects
using some of the things we take for granted with regular ruby
development - rake, gems, rspec, etc. I'm starting a project of my
own and since there isn't a lot of documentation out there yet I
figure looking at other projects is the best way to see how it's done.
I'm not looking for projects that just use small pieces of IronRuby
- I really want to see how someone would build a library or end-to-
end solution leveraging gems, rake tasks, and unit testing in
IronRuby.
Thanks!
