Hi,

while surfing i got some blog about IronRuby from where i get to know
about DLR. I started reading it from

http://blogs.msdn.com/hugunin/archive/2007/04/30/a-dynamic-language-runtime-dlr.aspx

But i am confuse about the purpose of it ... "The essential benefits
of the DLR are about sharing. It lets language implementers share
standard features rather than rebuilding them from scratch. This lets
them focus on the features that make a given language unique rather
than on reinventing yet another GC system."

these are the features that a DLR have for new language, but isn't
these things are being handled by CLR? I am novice to .NET and
whatever i learned was that "whatever we write in C# or VB or anything
will ultimately converted into lower language for CLR" so then why
Python, JavaScript, Ruby are using DLR as another layer?

cheers,
..alee
