You should check out the availability of libraries for the task at hand and also how helpful the community is. The Python community is humongous and seems friendlier to me.

We're an all Python development company so being able to do "full stack" development with Python is great (although it was originally the customer who specified Silverlight). | 1 | 5 | 0 | I've been toying with the idea of adding IronPython for extending a scientific application I support.
Is this a good or horrible idea?
Are there any good examples of IronPython being used in a production application. I've seen Resolver, which is kind of cute. Are there any other apps out there?
