Microsoft is readying a new software layer designed to allow dynamic languages to integrate more easily and tightly with its .Net Framework, according to sources. Microsoft is aiming to unveil the new technology — which it may christen as the "Dynamic Language Runtime" (DLR) — at its Mix '07 conference, which kicks off on April 30 in Las Vegas, sources added.
Implmentations of dynamic languages — like Ruby, Perl, PHP and Python that already can plug into the .Net Framework exist. However, Microsoft has been working for months to find ways to make .Net more attractive to dynamic-language developers.
