effort involves duplicating these packages’ C-based modules in .NET.

slowly using a C to .NET bridge.</span></p>

Is there any evidence (metrics) that using the Ironclad C to .NET
bridge is "very slow"? I can believe there are places where it is
slower but but I've never seen enthought (or any one else) show metrics
of this.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> Not only will
this porting effort drastically improve the performance of Python’s top
scientific packages under IronPython, it’s fantastic for NumPy/SciPy in
the sense that it enables an entirely new community of (.NET)
developers to utilize and contribute to these libraries. <span

Also, Enthought’s refactoring work will make it easier to run these
packages against all implementations of Python, not just IronPython.</span><span
