Ryan, I'm right there with you, only I looked at JFFI for inspiration (didn't know mono had anything - could you share more about that?). In fact, In my infinite laziness, I posted a job for a couple hundred bucks on Rent-A-Coder, hoping someone could essentially port JFFI to C#, so I could focus on writing the actually IronRuby library... but nothing came of that.
I'm tempted to suck it up and start coding this myself. Would you be interested in working together? I figured I'd take the approach of essentially writing "NFFI", and then write an IronRuby lib around that. -Charles On Fri, Aug 20, 2010 at 2:33 PM, Ryan Riley <ryan.ri...@panesofglass.org>wrote: > I know that we've discussed this in the past, but I'm interested in doing > it for two reasons: > 1.
