In the post A Brief Encounter with Python I mentioned that I quite like Python's syntax and script-like feel. I also make no secret of my passion for the .NET framework... So imagine my delight when I discovered an open-source fusion of the two!
With the syntax of Python and the vast wealth of utility found in the .NET framework, IronPython is an exciting prospect. C# still has the edge when it comes to cool language features (async/await, anyone?) but I can't deny that IronPython interests me from the perspective of combining something new with rapid application development.
Since you can try IronPython without having to download it there's nothing to lose, so why not have a go with it?
