#486: CSnakes: Embed Python code in .NET

If you are a .NET developer or work in a place that has some of those folks, wouldn't it be great to fully leverage the entirety of PyPI with it's almost 600,000 packages inside your .NET code? But how would you do this? Previous efforts have let you write Python syntax but using the full libraries (especially the C-based ones) has been out of reach, until CSnakes. This project by Anthony Shaw and Aaron Powell unlocks some pretty serious integration between the two languages. We have them both here on the show today to tell us all about it.
