Executing IronPython Code from IronRuby

One of the advantages of the Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR) is the fact that it makes sharing code between the languages that are written on top of it (and on top of the CLR as well). Therefore, it is possible to share code between IronPython and IronRuby (and any other DLR language as well like IronScheme ). This means that IronPython libraries can be used from IronRuby code and vice versa. Ruby on Rails in Python? Django in Ruby? feels like the end of days, isn’t it? perhaps we should really start...

Make Your Application Extendable Using the DLR

It’s very common for applications to have a way to extend them. Extensibility comes in various ways and have multiple names too – plug-ins, add-ins, addons, etc. It seems, though, that one kind of extensibility was left to the very few – application macros. The concept is very simple – You don’t need to create a special Dll, implement a specific interface and register it somehow, you don’t even have to install an IDE. All you have to do is to open the relevant window, write some code and voila –...

IronLanguages and Cross-Platformability

Most dynamic languages can run on multiple platforms. IronPython and IronRuby are no exception. The dev teams are investing lots of resources in order to make this happen because of the importance of this feature to the community. IronPython and IronRuby can be run on top of Mono, which enables you to run .Net applications on top of different platforms, including Linux, BSD, Mac and more. There are some great posts that show you how to do that: How to run IronRuby on top of Mono – by Sanghyeon Seo...
