Re: IronRuby

One of the foremost principles of the Rails framework is 'Convention Over Configuration' - in fact I think that the 'CoC' term was coined by the rails guys.

How does ruby on rails differ from asp.net mvc?  When people say dynamic,
they mean untyped? The untyped stuff in MVC is the part of that framework
that I actually dislike. Having to use viewdata to pass arguments to the
site master. Anonymous types used for route values - dont like that very
much.  I am ok with the convention part of MVC, but would like the compiler
and visual studio to tell me when I am not adhering to convention.  Does
ruby on rails work by convention also?
