With all the talk about this hot new language it seems only right that Microsoft has moved their focus over to the opensource arena with the impending release of IronRuby.

What this is in a nutshell is a plugin to Visual Studio 2005 that allows users to develop Ruby Apps within the VS.NET Dynamic Language Runtime.

They did this a while back with the release of IronPython (Python on .NET), but this is one developer who really hopes the impending Orcas release of Visual Studio has this beauty firmly tied in.

Fingers crossed,
