This is going to be a huge boost to ClojureCLR, IronPython, and F#. I think F# especially is going to take off in popularity now that its best VM target is going to run on Linux and Mac.

I hope so. F# is a really nice language. Microsoft Research is an amazing lab with some very bright minds working there.

It'd be nice to be able to use some of the fruits of their labor without having a steep entry fee to evaluate it.

Thanks MS, this is a good move.
