the "iron" languages never got much adoption though.. perhaps if .net had gone open source before ironpython, ironruby and iron. this would have been more important.
With that being said, I believe its only a matter of time before Microsoft brings this to UWP as all the insider and developer surveys have been focusing on asking what other languages people use and want to be able to write in within the context of UWP (Xbox/Surface/Win10)
- seanmcdirmid 10y agoI was using the DLR for my live programming research and was kind of bummed when it was effectively deprecated via nerfing; I never used the iron languages, just the infrastructure used to build them. In fact, this was one thing that Microsoft had that everyone else was lacking, a real unique advantage, dynamic compilation with statically types performance via a tree API and JIT. My use case was really niche, however.
