Initially, an implementation of Python showed up. Later, the Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR) appeared which made it much easier to implement dynamically typed languages on .NET. This session explores how dynamically typed languages fit in the ecosystem of .NET. We’ll see why dynamic languages are interesting and contrast them to their static brethren (C#, Java). Then we will touch on how IronPython and IronRuby are implemented on .NET via the Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR). Finally, we’ll look at some code examples of how you can utilize these languages on .NET today.

Biography: Kristian Kristensen is an independent software development consultant. Through his company WhizIT he takes on the role of teacher, coach, facilitator and anything in between to help software shops improve their processes and skills. He is particularly interested in languages and how they shape our thoughts and problem solving abilities.
Kristian worked as a consultant for Microsoft before embarking on the journey of freelance consulting.
He holds a Master in Software Engineering from Aalborg University; thesis topic “Type Inference of Ruby”. Links:

It's a Whirlwind Tour of the important language features of C# 4. Stuart describes each major feature and why it is useful. But doesn't get into best practices nor suggested usages. Just the facts about each feature.

Whirlwinds are bite-sized webcasts, generally shorter than 15 minutes. You can start anywhere in the series to learn about the parts you're most interested in.

This session on dynamic lookup introduces a new pseudo-type dynamic is introduced into the C# type system. It's used to call dynamic languages, COM object, or XML using types not known at compile time (aka duck typing). Stuart introduces the concepts of dynamic lookup and how you use it in your C# code.

For more information about how to create a dyanamic lookup language for XML, see deCast - Dynamic Xml with C# 4.0.

Andrew Duthie geekSpeak Kevin Hazzard Expert to Expert: Rich Hickey and Brian Beckman - Inside Clojure Clojure is a dynamic programming language created by Rich Hickey that targets both the Java Virtual Machine and the CLR. It is designed to be a general-purpose language, combining the approachability and interactive development of a scripting language with an efficient and robust infrastructure for multithreaded programming. Clojure is a compiled language - it compiles directly to JVM bytecode, yet remains completely dynamic. Every feature supported by Clojure is supported at runtime. Clojure provides easy access to the Java frameworks, with optional type hints and type inference, to ensure that calls to Java can avoid reflection.

Clojure is a dialect of Lisp, and shares with Lisp the code-as-data philosophy and a powerful macro system. Clojure is predominantly a functional programming language, and features a rich set of immutable, persistent data structures. When mutable state is needed, Clojure offers a software transactional memory system and reactive Agent system that ensure clean, correct, multithreaded designs.

Astrophysicist and Software Architect Brian Beckman interviews Rich Hickey to dig into the details of this very interesting language. If you don't know much about Clojure and the general problems it aims to solve, well, watch and listen carefully to this great conversation with plenty of whiteboarding and outstanding questions. Expert to Expert simply rocks! Thank you for spending time with us, Rich! Clojure is great!

PS: You can donate to the Clojure project should you feel so inclined.

IronRuby is an Open Source implementation of the Ruby programming language for .NET, heavily relying on Microsoft's Dynamic Language Runtime. IronRuby is Ruby, but implemented on top of the DLR (which of course provides the capability for dynamic languages to interact with the BCL and CLR).

You've learned about the details of the DLR here on 9, which provides dynamic runtime support for .NET. IronRuby targets compatibility with the 1.8.x branch of Ruby modulo continuations. IronRuby is an implementation of Ruby version 1.8.6.

Here, Jimmy explains the thinking behind the IronRuby project. Why are we doing this, anyway? When/Why would Ruby developers use IronRuby? What's the current status of the project? What's the future hold for IronRuby? Tune in and learn about the past, present and future of IronRuby.
