Internet Explorer 8 beta 1[^] was released today at the Mix '08 conference. Oh, and a Silverlight 2 beta[^] was released as well. Some other Silverlight tidbits: ScottGu posted 8 Silverlight tutorials[^] to get you started. Jon Lam shows off Ruby running in your browser[^] via Silverlight. :cool:

"The interesting file is app.xap. This is the way we package Silverlight components for distribution. ... it dynamically packages everything that you need to run your DSL application into the XAP and serves it up to your browser. The core DSL runtime pieces and the IronRuby assemblies are in the file, along with all of the other files that we generated in our starter application." In other words, their 'hello world' app is roughly 700KB in size. Are these guys smoking crack or something? :wtf:
xacc.ide - now with IronScheme support
IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 2 out now -

I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days :)

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 2 out nowThe 700K is for the 1-time scripting runtime to run Ruby, right?

No that is for the whole application, so each time its updated, another 700k.

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 2 out nowHey leppie Are you getting those numbers from the screenshot of app.zip? I see that contains the Ruby Silverlight runtime/scripting runtime. I'm not sure if those dlls need to be deployed in every app.zip. I could be wrong though, I'll ask John about it in the comments.

Yes I am, but as you can see the zip contains the application and the run time. From what I can see it needs to be included in every app.zip. Good luck getting an answer from John (I have had very little luck getting responses from MS people via email).

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 2 out nowHi leppie, I got an answer from John. He said,
Depending on how you configure your app, you can download the DSL dependencies (DLR + IronRuby) in a separate XAP that comes from one of our servers (this isn't working yet). So your XAP becomes something like 2K in that case. It will also be cached in your browser cache so it is a one-time download. Compare with any of the other binary redists of Ruby 1.8.6 for size ...
