I like the idea of IronPython, but I don't like to take a lot of time with version 1.x of any language. (I learned my lesson with Visual Studio .Net managed C++.) I like Python, I use it in the FreeBSD environment. I don't use Python in Windows, mostly because I think in C++ or C# in the Windows environment. Now, it may be time to look at IronPython for real.

IronPython - Release: 2.0 (The release is dated 12/10/2008)
