General Development With highly expressive syntax that is easy to read, write, and maintain, dynamic programming languages like Python and Ruby are extremely conducive to rapid development. Microsoft and Sun Microsystems have observed growing interest in dynamic programming, and plan to integrate more extensive support for dynamic language features in their respective managed language platforms. Elsewhere, check PHP for .NET.

Oh boy. VM's are mentioned and people immediately start screaming about how slow they are...

That's just a load of crap! Java nor .NET are truly slow.

If you want an example, just try http://www.map24.com . This stuff is a Java applet, in 3D and with live data from the net. You can hardly say that this is slow!

Integration with the OS gets better every release. Specially .Net does a good job (at least on the windows platform). There really is no difference from running a native or vm application there.
