----------------------------------------------------------- New Message on BDOTNET
----------------------------------------------------------- From: spark Message 1 in Discussion Hi, this is a contribution to the general mindless link propgation (MLP). If anyone has an interset in dynamic languages and .Net then this might be news: http://www.hole.fi/jajvirta/weblog/20031210T0901.html and also http://www.python.org/pycon/dc2004/papers/9/IronPython_PyCon2004.html <snip> Hugunin's IronPython I'd guess that anyone who reads this weblog also reads Jeremy Hylton's weblog (which is in my opinion currently perhaps the best technical Python related weblog), but I still thought it was worthwhile to mention that the great Jim Hugunin has a new project, named IronPython, which is an implementation of Python for the Microsoft Common Language Runtime environment. The remarkable thing is that IronPython runs faster than the Python implementation in C according to the pystone benchmark. (See Hugunin's original message for full details.) Miguel de Icaza, lead developer of the Mono framework, also comments on Hugunin's remark with delight and says that this might "stop the meme of '.NET is slow for scripting languages'". Hugunin himself is busy for the whole January, but hopes to continue the development of IronPython after that.
