Big Bad Code

Congratulations are in order to Jim Hugunin and the rest of the IronPython team over at Microsoft.

You can download it from here if you like.

IronPython is an implementation of the Python programming language that runs on top of the .Net CLR which may not mean much to some of you, but is in fact really cool. Basically Jim and his team have taken an extremely dynamic language (of which Im a huge fan) and have opened up all the possibilites of the .Net framework to it.

Of course it’s a little more complicated than that, but check out this Screencast by Jon Udell to get a feel for what this can do for .Net development.
