[casual_games] languages...

[Lionel barret De Nazaris]

Hello all,
I am to quite new myself to casual game programming. And I am wondering 
if Python or .Net are valid alternatives to the common Flash and Java ? 
The IGDA white paper name Python but does not give any example of game 
made completely in Python, so I am wondering if it's not wishful 
thinking (Python is an easy language to love).
Apologies if I tread a very common ground.

Thanks,
Lionel
