Dynamic Typing for my .NET Homies

Check this out -- Wesner Moise talks about dynamic typing and other possible changes in store for C# 3.0.

Deep Integration of Ruby and Semantic Web

I have less time to work on this than I would like, but I expect to be launching an open source project within the next few weeks.

Deep Integration of Ruby with Semantic Web Ontologies

Feedback welcome.
