Microsoft Linking Silverlight, Ruby on Rails

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the trying-too-hard dept.

CWmike writes "Friday Microsoft will demonstrate integration between its new Silverlight browser plug-in and Ruby on Rails. Microsoft's John Lam, a program manager in the dynamic language runtime team, said in a recent blog item: 'Running Rails shows that we are serious when we say that we are going to create a Ruby that runs real Ruby programs. And there isn't a more real Ruby program than Rails.' Also at the event, Microsoft officials will demonstrate IronRuby, a version of the Ruby programming language for Microsoft's .Net platform, running a Ruby on Rails application."

    Since Silverlight isn't cross platform, why bother?

    What are you talking about? It runs on all modern versions of Windows.

    How does an company like Microsoft "learn" to become more "transparent"?
    And why do they need to be more transparent? These guys gave us windows. What can be more transparent than that?
