Garden Point Ruby.NET: True Compiler Available for Download.

“[Wayne Kelly is] pleased to announce the preliminary Beta release of the Gardens
Point Ruby.NET compiler. Note: this is not just a Ruby/.NET bridge, nor a Ruby Interpreter
implemented on .NET, but a true .NET compiler. The compiler can be used to statically
compile a Ruby source file into a verifiable .NET v2.0 assembly or it can be used
to directly execute a Ruby source file (compile, load and execute). Our implementation
is not yet fully complete, but it is the only Ruby compiler that we know of for either
the .NET or JVM platforms that is able to pass all 871 tests in the samples/test.rb
installation test suite of Ruby 1.8.2.

Complete source code of our system can be downloaded from: http://plas.fit.qut.edu.au/Ruby.NET/Download.aspx  [Knowing.NET]
