I’ve long believed that scripting languages are an integral part of any legitimate Quant platform or strategy development framework.  First I started playing with Matlab, using M as script and Java as a host to my QuantPipes trading platform.  Later, I messed around with GroovyScript.  But, now that I am entirely committed to the .NET platform, I’m playing with dynamic languages such as IronPython.

At first blush, it has everything I was looking for.  It took only a couple hours to come up to speed and get a scriptable widget dropped into my latest trading framework that enables me real-time control of the underlying libraries.  Great job Microsoft!  They are doing some powerful things with the framework.
