[Rubydotnet-developer] TechEd

[Tim S. <ti...@ih...>]

Hi guys,

Microsoft are running their "TechEd" conference in Auckland, NZ (where I
live) this week.

I managed to beg my way into a session to do with 'low-level CLR stuff'.
They mentioned that they're considering adding a dynamic dispatch
instruction to IL to aid the compilation of dynamic languages for their
platform. That would be useful for a Ruby->IL compiler.

Hopefully this would mean that if some C# code calls a method on a type
that has been declared 'dynamic' and the method has not already
been declared, the C# compiler will use 'dynamic_call'.
