I asked this question before about Prothon (which you didn't
really answer) and am asking it now about pycs.

What do you think will be the sweet spot?  What will the
killer application be?

To a certain extent you will get the Python readability and
productivity, as well as the portability and library of .NET.
However Python and everything else on .NET already have that.

I see the concurrency stuff from Comega which looks nice.
(Personally I detest Twisted in Python, so almost anything
will be better :-)  However the concurrency isn't something
that can't be implemented as part of the library for almost
any language.

The XML stuff is nice.  You may remember me droning on earlier
about how damn difficult it is to deal with processing
data that isn't just streams of text :-)

So what is the sweet spot?  Will developers be 100% more
productive?  Will programs be more reliable? Do you expect
the first killer application to be a game, a web server
or an ecommerce suite?
