Wayne Kelly announced on ruby-talk the beta release of a Ruby.net compiler:

We are 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:

Neat.
