You can add a company named "Aderant" to the list. http://aderant.com/
They are now the 800-pound gorilla in the legal software arena. They
bought out my previous employer (RainMaker Platinum) - I worked for them
up until just recently when they closed down the Dallas office. They
have a huge product called "Expert" which was written by their elite dev
team in N.Z. using the MS Patterns and Practices Software Factory
platform. They use IronPython to do all the deployment config and setup
and also as the scripting language for it. And it's ALL scripted. When I
first saw that, let's just say I was so stoked. Never got to work on it
since we got pulled off to work on another new sister company's old VB
system, but what I did see of it was impressive.
Also, fwiw, I wrote a smart-client replacement for our old antiquated
ASP.Net BI system using IronPython - I took all the old VB.Net modules
and created one support dll out of them, took all the old JavaScript
code and converted it to C# and made another support dll. I used
WinForms originally for the screens, but was converting them to WPF as I
went. I used IronPython and a whole buncha events to glue it all
together. Worked pretty darn slick. If we hadn't gotten bought out, it
probably would have been in production sometime this year, but that's
another story...
But I never gave "support" a second thought. Not an issue. IronPython is
one of the best maintained projects out there. Period.
Just as another little testimonial, I wrote this last year -
http://sourceforge.net/projects/npppyscriptauto/ - makes heavy use of
both Iron and C Python. Same codebase. It's had over 300 downloads and
not one negative feedback post. Check out the download stats... 43% in
Spain. Go figure. Whatever they're doing with it over there, they must
really like it. ;-)
(I think it's Banco Santander, but it could be a small university
Computer Science class using it as study material. Who the hell knows...)
Anyway, hope this helps.
And thanks guys. Keep up the good work. 'Preciate it.
Dave
