David Simmons has been banging around the Smalltalk world producing very clever stuff (although he totally lacks any sense of business as far as I can tell - too easily distracted by tasty hacks). Nonetheless, he has done a scripting language called SmallScript that lives on top of .NET as well as on his own VM (which he calls the Agents Objects System AOS).

A couple quotes from him on his .NET implementation experience are:

So its not awful - but its not great either. It *is* better than the jvm.

The average hunter gatherer works 20 hours a week.
The average farmer works 40 hours a week.
The average programmer works 60 hours a week.
What the hell are we thinking?

If the people speak and the king doesn't listen, there is something wrong with the king. If the king acts precipitously and the people say nothing, something is wrong with the people.
