We showed IronRuby dispatching some static and dynamic Rails requests at RailsConf 2008. We are running the RubySpecs to measure our conformity with Ruby and we're passing the core specs at a 71% rate (12026 / 16793 expectations for RubySpec core).

Today, we're only shipping the sources for IronRuby; you'll have to build it yourself. Once we get to a stage where we're happy with the performance, startup, and working set characteristics of IronRuby we'll start shipping binaries. That's the signal that we're interested in having folks build real programs using IronRuby.

IronRuby is going to show up at a few other places in the near future. Here's the upcoming conference schedule:

July 18-20: RubyFringe, Toronto, Canada

July 23-25: OSCON, Portland, OR

Oct 27-30: PDC, Los Angeles, CA

You can also see what folks are writing about IronRuby here and other research papers. We'll setup a planet site for IronRuby as soon as I (or someone from the community) can figure out how to make it happen on this wiki.
