It's true that he Ironpython's mailing list is a little bit innactive, but this is just because there's only one person in charge of Ironpython at this moment (although Microsoft was looking to hire a new developer to help on this). However, the innactivity is due to the fact that Jim Hugunin, its developer, has begun working for MS just a couple of months ago, and as he says, there are tons of new CLR features to learn that are applicable to dynamic languages. You should also give credit to Jim: he's the man who developed Jython, which is a complete inplementation of Python written in Java. He also created Numeric and co-authored Aspect, another programming language. So I'm sure that Ironpython will be a reality soon, and a very good one... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
