Fairly old news. I ported Mono to Android a few years ago and got Python and Ruby running that way.

really great effort, i will try it out, but why is it so large?
Because it's .NET, therefore has to include the .NET library (to be of any use at all aside from a virtual machine). Or in this case, the Mono version of the .NET library. It's a big library.
