Should Microsoft start to face up to Ruby?

I 've been wondering why Microsoft has been so silent about Ruby on Rails. It should be said that the earthquake effect caused by Ruby on Rails within the Java camp over the past year is a very rare opportunity for Microsoft. Although Java has been around for five years and has made many technical improvements, Microsoft's. NET platform has never really served Java enthusiasts. However, the half-way method of hacking ruby makes the Java camp a buzz. Isn't it worth thinking about by Micrsoft? Isn't this a rare opportunity? However, Microsoft has always been silent about Ruby. Why? Many Microsoft technical supporters may think that this is an embodiment of Microsoft's disapproval of Ruby and rails, but with my understanding of Microsoft, I believe that Microsoft's technical leadership will never be unaware of the rise of Ruby. On the contrary, they may be planning and even starting to take some actions, but they are not yet revealing the secrets. Ironpython experiments show that Microsoft's. Net CLR is a good platform for Ruby/Python and other dynamic languages to execute. Microsoft accepts ruby more easily than Java.

This is not the case. In November 11, Don box mentioned Bruce Tate's new book, beyond Java, in his blog. The whole article is about Ruby surpassing Java. Although don box does not directly praise Ruby in the text, it is still a slap in the face of Ruby, and even two ruby books are recommended. At the end of the blog, Don box said:

"I hope my colleagues and sisters who work on the. Net project at Microsoft will remember that those who are not good at learning from history are destined to repeat the same mistakes. I already feel that a book called "Beyond. Net" is being dumped into an edited book ..."

Good. What does Don box imply? I believe everyone can see it.
