IronPython is a good alternative if you *have* to work in .Net, but it
never was reason enough to take the plunge into .Net.
The thing that sucks more about this was that Microsoft never went out
and evangelized Fox to non-MS devs as a method of drawing them into the fold,
as they did with the dynamic languages. The last few PyCons have featured
speakers from Microsoft touting the power of IronPython in Visual Studio, for
example.
