IronPython

[Jordan]

A new Python language has been released that uses .NET:

IronPython version 1.0 was just released after 3 years of development. Jim Hugunin, the creator of Jython and the lead developer of the Shared Source IronPython, made the birth announcement earlier this week. From the announcement: 'I wanted to understand how Microsoft could have screwed up so badly that the CLR was a worse platform for dynamic languages than the JVM... I found that Python could run extremely well on the CLR — in many cases noticeably faster than the C-based implementation. [...] Shipping IronPython 1.0 isn't the end of the road, but rather the beginning. Not only will we continue to drive IronPython forward but we're also looking at the bigger picture to make all dynamic languages deeply integrated with the .NET platform and with technologies and products built on top of it. I'm excited about how far we've come, but even more excited by what the future holds!'"

IronPython sounds cooler than Python.

It is actually. I've been messing around with this just seeing what it can do. Here are some examples: http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.as...&title=Samples

Considering that I never knew what Python could do, I can't make any comparisons. That IronTunes things sounds interesting though.
