No, not at all. IronPython got pretty close to being done, but there
are still many places where it cannot do all that the CPython version can. And
they haven't even begun to support Python 3 at all.
The IronRuby team was much, much further behind. Most Ruby/Rails
projects would not run without extensive modification, if at all. The team was
cut during the middle of development.

Exactly. When you marry someone expecting them to change, you're bound
to be disappointed. This is SSDD for Microsoft, and anyone who expects them to
suddenly put developer interests over marketing interests is seriously deluded.
