Nice. That's really interesting. Just from passive interest I had always thought it was implemented in .NET from the beginning since MS sort of touted silverlight as a way of utilizing CLR languages to build a rich web app. I had no idea silverlight 1.0 was javascript only. Will silverlight 2.0 use javascript as a CLR language (compile-on-the-fly to bytecode or something)? So I guess long-term, people can stick with a very open-source 1.0 implementation (supporting only javascript) if they wished, or go with the heavier, full .net system. I wonder how companies deploying silverlight will choose to go here. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
