Microsoft is working behind the scenes to enhance the support of .Net for dynamic programming languages. Microsoft is cutting its dynamic-language teeth with IronPython and using that knowledge to improve support for all kinds of dynamic languages. Speaking of dynamic languages, Microsoft is hosting the development of a PHP compiler for the .Net Framework – codenamed “Phalanger” — on its CodePlex code repository site.
