One step at time. IronPython is usable on mono. Still far from working good enough to replace default Python's VM yet step in right direction. If C#, Java (via IKVM) and Python will share common VM - it'll be huge step in right direction. It'll require huge amount of work, but looks more realistic today then consolidation on Parrot...

i agree that this consolidation is not realistic today. i am hoping that some future tuning for compiler front-ends by various language crews and moore's law can amend the issue. i know guido has said (with regards to parrot) that it is not realistic to presume one vm can provide best-in-class support for all these different types of languages, but i assume at some point the performance will be 'good enough' such that developers no longer see a point in maintaining various vms.

FWIW, there are some objections to the IronPython license, and it looks highly unlikely that Microsoft will allow this situation to improve.

Since the developer of IronPython works for Microsoft now, a better link might be to the Microsoft IronPython download page
