MS bringing Ruby expert aboard

Microsoft has hired John Lam, developer of the RubyCLR, as a member of its .Net Developer Platform Team. He will join the company in January 2007, according to a blog by Microsoft executive S. "Soma" Somaseger.

RubyCLR bridges Ruby and .Net. Lam will be a program manager in the CLR team, focused on implementing dynamic languages on .Net.

"I've decided to stage a friendly takeover of Microsoft. As of January, 2007 my new work address will be Building 42 at Microsoft. I'll be working in the CLR team to help bring the love of dynamic languages out to the statically typed heathens," Lam said in his own blog.
