[pypy-dev] missing things for making PyPy "production" ready (for some value of production)

yes, but it's more or less only a proof of concept. You can use .NET 
classes from Python but you can't, e.g., inherit from a .NET class and 
override a method in Python. Also, I suspect it to be a bit slow since 
it's mostly implemented at application level, though maybe this is not 
an issue.

My personal plan is to port this feature to pypy-jvm soon or later; it 
will be even possible to share most of the code between the two 
backends, I think.
