IronRuby / Rails Question

It looks like you’re getting very close to getting rails to run on
IronRuby. What is the endgame for this? Is the goal to eventually be
able to run a rails app on IIS, so deployment is just as simple as
deploying an ASP.NET web application? I’ve been looking at several
different ways this could happen (especially if you can modify rails
to take advantage of some windoes / .net specific features), but would
like to get your thoughts on this.

I don’t think we’re near the end game yet :slight_smile: We’re barely able to run
Rails functional tests now, and there’s a lot more library work to be
done before we can start thinking about deployment etc. That said, this
is something we would love to have folks in the community help us out
with. Do you have any specific thoughts in mind?

Thanks,
