IronPython in a Virtual Desktop (in a Browser!?!)
The front page of the Vista Smalltalk Website is currently showing a screenshot of IronPython running on the Virtual Desktop - inside a web-browser...
This looks like a very interesting test and development environment for IronPython on Silverlight.
The code shown illustrates using some of the core-CLR assemblies from IronPython, plus it benchmarks "a million iterations involving assignments in just over two seconds (3GHz Pentium) - this is orders of magnitude faster than traditional JavaScript".
'Orders of magnitudes faster' sounds good for web applications, but I have no idea how this compares to the upcoming alternatives...
The code isn't available yet, and I'm not sure what you'll be able to do with it (although as a testing and experimentation environment it could be awesome), but it certainly looks cool!
