I am hopeful that both .NET and Jython (as well as other such efforts)
yield meaningful results.  I have no direct experience with either, but
I am a bit sceptical, only because such efforts historically (like
the UCSD P system) have been less than spectacular.  Certainly, there is
reason to believe this is more feasible today because of the much faster
processors and larger memories at our disposal.

.NET particularly ought to be view with great scepticism, IMO.  It seems
clear to me that, for commercial reasons, the real focus of the CLR will 
be C# which does not really meet the 'multi-paradigm' requirement.
