Jim Hugunin (creator of Jython, which is Python on Java Virtual Machine)
thought similiar:

"""wanted to understand how Microsoft could have screwed up so badly that
the CLR was a worse platform for dynamic languages than the JVM. My plan
was to take a couple of weeks to build a prototype implementation of Python
on the CLR and then to use that work to write a short pithy article called,
"Why the CLR is a terrible platform for dynamic languages""""

He tried it, wrote Ironpython, was hired by Microsoft...

So there is proof that .NET is usable for more then one language. (Not that
I want to embrace that platform)
