In other news, IronPython is released to the world. Jim Hugunin also works for Microsoft now, with the Common Language Runtime team, giving him a possibility to concentrate on the development of IronPython. Congratulations to Jim.

I currently do not work on the CLR platform, but it's nice to see a functional and efficient implementation of Python on it.

Update: Edd Dumbill has a good coverage on the release.
