Sorry, can't say.

Okay, then. Since neither of us wants to violate our NDAs, I'll just say: you're wrong.

I think it depends (like most everything at MS) on your team. Although actually what I'm referring is to legal restrictions on software we can actually use in production.

I am heartbroken to hear this. .Net, the Dynamic Language Runtime, IronPython and IronRuby are incredibly awesome technologies and if instead of embracing the cool aspects, Microsoft will focus only on the boring enterprisey bits in the future I'll have no choice but stop being a .Net developer and switch to something else. Which would be a shame because I really like those technologies.

Have you checked out JRuby/ JPython?

I should stick to OSX and Linux and leave my current employer due to strict use of M$ tech. Sorry to say that man, but your story reads just like that to me. I want to thank you for your great work, though. And I wish you all the best for your N…

IronRuby was never supposed to make c# obsolete
