How it works? I believe it’s something to do with sharing scopes, but you can take a look @ <a href="http://dynamicsilverlight.net/see/dlrconsole.zip.">http://dynamicsilverlight.net/see/dlrconsole.zip.</a> Everything is in /app/app.py<BR>

John, any idea when Ruby will play nicely with other languages?<BR>

A quick question on mixing languages with the DLR. If we have an<BR>
execution scope that we have executed code in - can we execute code from<BR>
another language in the same scope?<BR>
<BR>
If this is trivially easy (just use a different engine to execute the<BR>
code in the same scope) then we could make Resolver One scriptable in<BR>
the DLR language of your choosing... (Why anyone would want to use<BR>
anything other than Python I don't know).<BR>
