Numpy is a problem because of the amount of C extensions. The best hope,
IMHO, is ironclad which marshalls objects around. Pawel and I spent a bit
of time getting a clean build of ironclad, but whether it was actually
functional or not remains to be seen. We were going for clean builds as a
first step. Actually getting Numpy to be .NET native is going to be a LOT
of work.

Unfortunately, I have changed employers and am not that focused on .NET any
more. My main interest these days would be to see IronPython3 moving
forward (out of fondness for the platform).

Cheers,
