I'm going to miss my first
RubyConf since 2005. The
IronRuby project is still going strong, and is in the capable hands of
Jimmy Schementi. It's heading towards a 1.0 release (0.9.2 today), and Jimmy is going to lay out what that roadmap looks like at RubyConf on
Friday.
So what have I been up to? I've been a happy IronRuby user since December, and working on a fantastic new project. It really was one of those opportunities where I was in the right place at the right time with the right preparation.These days I'm spending a large chunk of my time building an awesome new team from scratch from folks who are currently at the company. Before this year is out, we'll be announcing (in broad terms) what I've been working on since last December and I'll be expanding hiring to folks who aren't currently at the company. I'll also
finally be able to talk about what I've been working on. It wasn't easy leaving the IronRuby team, and I'm hopeful that you'll love what we're building as much as we love building it!
