IronPython…

Okey, esto es interesante. Una version de Python que apunta al CLR como plataforma de desarrollo. Nada despreciable, ya que muchos de los seguidores de Python toman .NET como la tecnología que no podrá crear aplicaciones escalables y dinámicas de alto nivel como Python según hace.

Una cita interesante es el autor y creador de este lenguaje:

It was a little less than a year ago that I first started investigating the Common Language Runtime (CLR). My plan was to do a little work and then write a short pithy article called, «Why .NET is a terrible platform for dynamic languages». My plans changed when I found the CLR to be an excellent target for the highly dynamic Python language. Since then I’ve spent much of my spare time working on the development of IronPython.

The more time that I spent with the CLR, the more excited I became about its potential. At the same time, I was becoming more frustrated with the slow pace of progress that I was able to make working on this project in my spare time. After exploring many alternatives, I think that I’ve found the ideal way to continue working to realize the amazing potential of the vision of the CLR. I’ve decided to join the CLR team at Microsoft beginning on August 2.

At Microsoft I plan to continue the work that I’ve begun with IronPython to bring the power and simplicity of dynamic/scripting languages to the CLR. My work with Python should continue as a working example of a high-performance production quality implementation of a dynamic language for the CLR. I will also reach out to other languages to help overcome any hurdles that are preventing them from targeting the CLR effectively. I welcome any and all feedback about how to best accomplish this.
