Microsoft hires Ruby .NET expert

John Lam, the main author of RubyCLR, which integrates Ruby and .NET, is moving to Microsoft.

He says,

I’m not going to stop blogging, I’m not going to leave the Ruby community, and I’m not going to do evil things.

Glad to hear it.

If you are wondering what RubyCLR does exactly, there’s a simple C# example here.
