Back when .Net was Microsoft Corp.'s shiny new replacement for boring old Java, the Redmond rhetoricians used to make a couple of points with which I heartily agreed. First, your platform ought not be joined at the hip to a programming language. Different people use different languages for different reasons; it's wise to accommodate them all. Second, dynamic (aka scripting) languages were going to be a .Net priority. Perl and Python, for example, would be compiled for native execution on implementations of the CLI (Common Language Infrastructure) -- that is, on Microsoft's Common Language Runtime, and now also on Microsoft's Shared Source CLI ('Rotor') and Ximian's Mono.
