I've been working on a blog entry that tries to cover this in great detail. Rather than go silent until I find time to complete that, I thought I should chime in a little here. When working with CLS libraries, IronPython tries first to ensure that nothing is impossible and second to make intera

Nonetheless, it does present some basis from which to start. I also suspect, specifically regarding the Starkiller paper, that some of the problems aren't all that relevent. For example, dynamic method creation: is that something that is going to be exposed outside of IronPython? If not, then do
