 I do not strictly follow IronPython and IronRuby and I do not have them currently installed with Visual Studio:

- IronPython seems to be evolving as open source project ( http://ironpython.net/ ) as well as IronRuby ( http://ironruby.net/ ) but the latter one seems to be "frozen" since summer 2011.

Here is an interesting 'farewell note' from one of IronPython developers -  http://hugunin.net/microsoft_farewell.html  - who has left MS for Google AFAIU....
