There is more meat to this now that MIX07 has concluded.

There will be the Dynamic Language Runtime which extends the CLR.

>From Miguel De Icaza (http://tirania.org/blog/)
Binaries of the DLR were released as part of Silverlight 1.1, and the
source code was included with IronPython 2.0 (also released today).

The release for the DLR is done under the terms of the Microsoft
Permissive License (MsPL) which is by all means an open source
license. This means that we can use and distribute the DLR as part of
Mono without having to build it from scratch. A brilliant move by
Microsoft.

During the keynote they announced support for four dynamic languages
built on top of the DLR: Python, JavaScript (ECMAScript 3.0), Visual
Basic and Ruby.

This looks like something to watch.
