[IronPython] IronPython / DLR Direction

[Vernon Cole]

I just received my official certification as a "CIW JavaScript specialist".
I have decided how to use the knowledge I gained in the class -- which is to
know that I should avoid having to use JavaScript at all whenever possible.
I made a similar decision in 1973 after taking a class on IBM mainframe Job
Control Language.  So far, that seems to have been a good decision.
JavaScript is, I must admit, a better language than JCL.  But compared to
Python?  Gimme a break!

On the other hand, if MS were to "unsupport" IronPython then they could no
longer keep us from submitting patches, could they?
