I've used mono (www.go-mono.com) on some production products. Mono is
very stable and runs very well. I even like doing ASP.NET development
on Linux with Apache and mod_mono (you can also use mod_aspdotnet on
Windows with Apache and the MS .NET runtime). There is a PerlNET
available from ActiveState in their Perl Dev Kit (obviously not open
source though). IronPython is a complete implementation of the Python
language in .NET and can even out perform the C version in some
benchmarks. It has full access to the .NET libraries and you can write
libraries in Python to be consumed by other .NET
applications/libraries. IKVM is an implementation of the Java virtual
machine written in .NET that can take a jar file or class file and
create a .NET class library from it. There are some really cool tools
being developed for .NET that I think can increase productivity if
used correctly and in the correct place.
I have a license to Perl.net and have played with it a bit. Not bad,
and especially good for a Perl programmer having a need to program in a
Windows environment. There's also a good book called "Programming PERL
(scares me that they spelled it in all caps) in the .NET Environment"
that is an excellent read if you want to learn more about it and .net in
general as a Perl developer. I think Activestate dropped support for
Perl.net just recently though.
