Microsoft funded it as a proof of concept. The concept was proven.

A lot of important features (like subclassing abstract classes and
implementing interfaces) don't work yet. Whenever that has bitten me, I've
written a simple C# class to help me bridge into Python.

In another year it is possible that Python compiled to IL will be faster
than CPython in most cases. But it is really hard to say.
