Ironruby core - Aug 2012 - IronRuby scripting in Windows Store apps

I have just checked in a sample Windows 8 application that evaluates Ruby code
and displays result.

https://github.com/IronLanguages/main/tree/master/Hosts/WindowsStore

Feel free to play with it. The basics should work but definitely expect bugs :).
To try it out build Ruby.sln Win8 configuration:

main\Solutions> msbuild Ruby.sln /p:Configuration="Win8Debug"

Then open Hosts\WindowsStore\IronApp.sln, build and run.

[cid:image001.png at 01CD82D6.0A8FA250]

The app is a regular C# Windows Store app that uses ScriptEngine to execute Ruby
code against a ScriptScope containing a "main" variable, which is set
to be the application MainPage UI element.

IronPython doesn''t build yet for Win8 profile, there is quite a bit of
work to be done to make it work. If anyone is interested in making IronPython
work or improving IronRuby let me know.

code against a ScriptScope containing a ?main? variable, which is set to be the
application MainPage UI element.

That sounds fantastic :-)

I''m interested (as you know) and I''m already neck-deep in
IronPython''s
codegen, so I''ll probably be tackling this next. I think they may be
related anyway.

FRom looking at the API reference, there''s no way to generate Types at
runtime in Metro apps, right? Does IronRuby have a way to  inherit
from a .NET type in that case? IIRC that was one thing WP7 could not
support.

- Jeff

That''s correct, new types can''t be generated at runtime and
hence it is not possible to inherit from an arbitrary CLR type.

Or any types precompiled ahead of time, which is what I''m working on
now. I need it for Android anyway, but it looks like I''ll need it here
too.
