Why would you do it? One nice feature of .net from day one was
that you can write code in any language, they interoperate on
byte code level.
I have no need for it at the moment, but please note that some
web services only provide .net clients. So being able to
convert those client libraries to other languages open up new
integration possibilities.
The proper way is for the other languages to provide a compiler
that generates MSIL.
Plus, it is quite easy to expose .NET objects as COM, so any
language able to consume COM should be able to talk to .NET.
