Thanks Nick and Bill. I have been looking into the CLR internals for a while now. I will take a look at the documentation links as well. I assume that any of the classic compiler texts (Aho, Appel) would be sufficient for taking apart the ToyScript language? Or does the DLR have a framework for interpreting built in? I know the VS SDK has tools like MPLEX and the DSL tools for languages. Does the DLR have something similar or is it worth a homegrown implementation?
