Scott Guthrie just announced IronRuby! Yeehaw!!!!!!

--

Silverlight binding; demoing on Mac

--

Dynamic Language Runtime announced

--

"Shipping later this week" (I'm sure he means shipping a beta / CTP)

--

Uses Ruby naming scheme when programming .NET libraries (weird. Not sure I like that.)

--

"Switch the console into Python mode, Ruby mode, VB mode" (he means something called "Dynamic VB")

--

www.silverlight.net is the commmunity site

(No sign of DLR / IronRuby / IronPython / Dynamic VB on that site as far as I can see)

--

"Componentize dispatching code, code generation, that sort of thing that compiler vendors do" ... namechecks to Hugunin and Lam ... we shipped this morning the DLR source code" on Codeplex ...
