Microsoft has a lot of programming languages targeting(some
designed by Microsoft itself) .NET/CLR[1]. It includes even a C++
and Python version so-called C++/CLI and IronPhyton,
respectively. I've hear about C++/CLI and (a F# compiler, IIRC)
by clang guys. Not sure if there's more.
Microsoft used to provide some support for IronPython and IronRuby, but
stopped. Whilst both of these languages still target CLR for Windows
users, Microsoft has cut them adrift and no longer consider them
mainstream.
This is very stupid of Microsoft.
They fully support Python in Visual Studio.

Just decided not to invest into IronPython/IronRuby the same way Sun
decided not to invest in JRuby. Very few developers really cared about
those implementations.
