Open Source .NET three years later

Visual Basic is really not a good language. And it's essentially dead. Good luck finding examples, even sometimes on MSDN docs, using VB. Unless you also know C# and can translate between them, it's somewhat difficult to develop in VB.

I'm sort of surprised that Python on the CLR isn't more popular than it is; with the investments made in the DLR specifically for better dynamic language support, that seemed to be a natural move to me.

What's the appeal of CLR's python implementation when compared to the C python implementation?

You can interop with other .NET code. That's very attractive sometimes.
