Get these M*Fng Snakes on my M*Fng framework!

IronPython 1.0 was just released, the python that runs .NET framework code.  IronPython lead developer is Jim Hugunin, creator of Jython, or Python on the JVM.  Jim had some things to say about why he started IronPython.  In short, at first it was to confirm that Microsoft's CLR was really inflexible and would never work outside of C# and VB.Net, as many at the time claimed.  He proved himself wrong instead, and actually found that he could speed up python by running it on the CLR.

Today with his release is a screencast of IronPython I think all developers should watch.  If you've used python before, you know how great the interactive command prompt is.  If you've used .NET before, you know how great the framework classes are.  Now see the two combined.  Dynamic languages with static frameworks; opposites really do attract.

I found the Jon Udell screencast interesting, even if over my head. Thanks for the pointer.
