IronPython

IronPython, part of Microsoft's drive to support dynamic languages in the CLR, is also used for the WPF samples.

After nearly 3 years of development, recently, Microsoft handed over the further development of IronPython to the community.

The community can now make source contributions to any component of IronPython and IronRuby.

The two teams will work to make PTVS the preferred tool in the next major release for IronPython.

With IronPython scripts, developers can inject code into running applications to add whatever features they see as missing.

In non-canonical implementations like IronPython and JPython, the str class is implemented using the platform defined String class.

There have also been improvements to significantly reduce memory usage of the IronPython ASTs.

The scripting window is based on the Dynamic Language Runtime, so it also supports IronPython and JScript.

IronPython 2. 0. 1 focuses on performance improvements, while keeping complete backwards compatibility.

I'm really excited to announce that today we released V1. 0 of the IronPython project for . NET.

SharpDevelop 3. 1 if offering a feature that can convert C# and VB code into IronPython code.

For the demo, Dino showed us the latest Django release (v0. 96) running on IronPython 2. 0 Beta 1 (which was just released on Friday).
