In Dynamic languages and virtual machines, Jon Udell discusses Perl and Python implementations on Java's JVM and .NET's CLI.

"Back when .Net was Microsoft'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.

But when ActiveState tried the experiment, it didn't go well. The CLI is, by design, not friendly to dynamic languages."

I nearly used this hack. I was automating a process involving an application which only seemed to work properly if you rebooted before using it!

In the end, though, soving a bunch more RAM into the box seems to have done the trick.

Ladder theory. And I thought I was cynical.

Not a single woman who wasn't a bitch has ever complained about misogyny at this site. I can prove this on an abacus. ;-)
