eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft has shipped the release candidate for IronPython 1.0 on its CodePlex community source site.
In a July 25 blog post, S. "Soma" Somasegar, corporate vice president of Microsoft's developer division, praised the team for getting to a release candidate for a dynamic language that runs on the Microsoft CLI. Microsoft designed the CLI to support a variety of programming languages. Indeed, "one of the great features of the .Net framework is the Common Language Infrastructure," Somasegar said.
