That's a shame for the IronPython/Ruby folks.

C# 5.0 + T4 Templates ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb126445.aspx ) + other .NET/C# dev. tools and libs seems to be a superset of Python features, dev. tools and libs (even django features/APIs are covered by that C# superset?). Microsoft used IronPython R&D project (as they state in quote I have provided in my prev. posting) to get C# 4 (C# 5) at that "superset" level and so they do not see now any business reasons to continue directly financing IronPython further development.

These language projects have helped thousands of people since they began, and they have added value to the .NET Framework. They helped create the Dynamic Language Runtime in the .NET Framework 4, on which we have also built C#'s new 'dynamic' keyword and improved Visual Basic's late-binding support. We’ll continue to invest in making the .NET Framework a great runtime environment for dynamic languages going forward.
