Wednesday, February 24th, 2010How this works. The page loads the open source DLR (Dynamic Language Runtime) using Silverlight through a web browser plugin. No Silverlight, no fun. The DLR then triggers on the ‘script type’ to the appropriate language. In this instance, it is IronPython: the open source implementation of Python on the DLR (IronRuby is used for […]

Ray Ozzie: by Steven Levy
Sunday, November 30th, 2008From Wired 16.12 “Ray Ozzie Wants to Push Microsoft Back Into Startup Mode”
“I think we’re going to take a lot of people by surprise” – Ray Ozzie, TechReady8

Before joining Microsoft, […]
