Microsoft bolsters Ruby efforts
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft on Thursday plans to delve deeper into Ruby programming, with plans to ship Ruby libraries and participate in a testing project for the language.
The libraries are akin to any other software library, helping developers build software.
The company at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention also will announce intentions to participate in the RubySpec project, which features a standard test suite used to define a compliant Ruby implementation.
In a prepared statement, Microsoft's John Lam, program manager for the company's Dynamic Language Runtime team, stressed the company's Ruby backing.
