Subject: IronPython: A fast Python implementation for .NET and Mono


This should be of of interest to those who would like to see a .NET 
implementation of Ruby:

http://www.python.org/pycon/dc2004/papers/9/

A Pithy quote:

"Unfortunately, as I carried out my experiments I found the CLR to be a 
surprisingly good target for dynamic languages, or at least for the highly 
dynamic specific case of Python. This was unfortunate because it meant 
that instead of writing a short pithy paper I had to build a full Python 
implementation for this new platform to see if there would be any hidden 
traps along the way. "

I still wanna see Ruby on Parrot, though.
