New software called “Ruby In Steel” is set to come out later this year; according to its makers, it will “provide an easy, accessible Ruby coding environment for [Microsoft’s Visual Studio 2005] users.” One version, a “personal edition,” will be free.
A “developer edition incorporating more advanced features” will sell for an unknown amount.
If some of this sounds unfamiliar, the SapphireSteel Software website explains things quite nicely. “Steel is a free Ruby language add-in for Microsoft’s Visual Studio 2005. It provides an editing environment for Ruby programs complete with syntax colouring and the ability to run console applications with one keystroke.”
