What is IronPython?
IronPython is a dynamic programming language that seamlessly integrates with the .NET Framework, enabling developers to leverage the power of Python within the Microsoft technology ecosystem. This implementation of the Python language runs on the .NET runtime, providing access to the extensive .NET libraries and allowing for interoperability between Python and other .NET languages. IronPython supports an interactive console with fully dynamic compilation, allowing for rapid prototyping and experimentation. Additionally, the integration with Visual Studio tooling simplifies the development and deployment of IronPython-based applications
