The Dynamic Language Runtime, IronRuby and IronPython with Jimmy Schementi

Summary

This episode of Hanselminutes discusses the Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR) with Iron Ruby program manager Jimmy Schementi. The DLR, initially intended for dynamic languages on the CLR, has evolved into a platform that C# and VB.NET now build upon, with its core elements integrated into .NET 4.0 for developers to leverage. The practical takeaway is that for building .NET applications, many DLR features are now readily available within the framework, though hosting specific APIs might require separate consideration.
