What is the closest thing to groovy/java combo in the C# .net world?

If I am writing an app with static and dynamic parts, what's the dynamic part like groovy on the .NET runtime?

A: 

From what little I heard Boo goes in that direction.

Boo, IronPython, IronRuby are probably the options.

There are other CLI languages too.

Yeap... I have just find out. It turns out there's a Ruby.NET also ... :-/

Of these sounds like Boo is most groovy like in that it's most C# like? Lot like groovy similar to java.The others like ruby and python on the .net platform are quite different I assume just like they on the java platform, like Jython etc.

A: 

I am using Boo, its 100% interop with other CLI-compatible code - code generated dynamically in Boo is used with c#
