+When Microsoft announced it was [releasing the Dynamic Language Runtime behind .Net][1] as part of its Silverlight platform, the team behind Mono, an open source implementation of .NET vowed to release an experimental Linux-based Silverlight browser plug-in by the end of the year. Today the team announced that it has Microsoft's IronPython with the DLR working on Mono.
+
+IronPython is an implementation of the Python programming language, targeting .NET developers which allows them to use Python to manipulate .NET framework objects.
+
+The announcement, which comes just sixteen days after the DLR was released, represents an important milestone for the Mono developers. 
+
+As the [Vista Small Talk blog points out][3], today's announcement means that IronPython can now run:
+
+>*	in the Silverlight browser plugin
+*	natively on Windows Vista
+*	on Windows XP with WinFx
+*	on Linux, BSD, and OSX with Mono
+
+Other DLR-based languages like IronRuby, VBx, and more should theoretically be portable as well which is good news both for developers and Microsoft, who is looking to build an active developer community around its new Silverlight platform.
