Back when my proper computer still worked, I had an article I was writing in an on-again, off-again kind of way. The article was on extending and embedding the programming language Ruby. Well, this morning I found an e-mail from someone interested in such an article. So I'm going to be starting it all over again, and hopefully have it ready some time in the near future.

Microsoft's Jim Hugunin reports from MIX07 that the .NET Framework is gaining new support for dynamic (read: scripting) languages such as Python or Ruby. The Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR) is an extension to the CLR that adds the features important to such scripting languages, such as dynamic typing.
