Very good tools from all that I have heard. Supports a Python/C/C++ approach very well, and this is much of what is happening with Python, though Numba may yet change all that by targeting LLVM directly from Python. > Just decided not to invest into IronPython/IronRuby the same way Sun > decided not to invest in JRuby.

As far as I am aware, it wasn't Sun who stopped investing in JRuby per se, Charles, et al. appreciated that Oracle probably would and so jumped ship before the Oracle buy out. I do not know about IronRuby, but IronPython played in the CLR much like Python does in the C/C++ world. There was a strong loyal following. JRuby is actually a main driver for dynamic language related innovations in the OpenJDK. Groovy gets a lot of development by people making JRuby run faster!
