You can see my reaction on the Python list.

....

Having come from a very productive dynamic language (Visual FoxPro) that MS
first said could not be ported to .Net, and then when it obviously was
possible (in 2005) made no attempt to do so, I'm having a deja vu experience
all over again. I'll try not to be as cynical and sarcastic as last time,
but I'm having to hold my arm down (shades of Dr. Strangelove) and hold my
tongue to prevent shouting out "Middle Management Uber Alles!" (referencing
Jimmy's blog post).

And so it goes...

>I follow the IronPython list and several of the guys on that list are very concerned. They believe that IronRuby is dead and IronPython will soon join. What is taking it's place - JavaScript. I can't believe it! I can't believe it!

>I just thank my self everyday for not going with .Net. I would have taken to IronPython like a duck takes to water (I really like python) and right now I would have been again concerned about my future. I use to to think I could count on MS. I have lost all trust in MS. It wouldn't surprise me if C++ was dropped. After all how many MS C++ developers are there?
