<thinking outloud/><br><br>DLR is a subset of CLR, with specific improvements for dynamic languages (dynamic call sites, dispatch and whatnot). At least that's how I understand it.<br><br>Currently, it runs in the browser on all major platforms (Win, OS X and with Linux (with Moonlight?)). It would be nice to be able to write apps on OS X (& linux for that matter) in C# or VB, for instance, that would target the DLR (not CLR). You would have access only to the subset of the CLR (whatever DLR brings to the table) but nontheless.<br>
<br>For whatever is missing, one could add assemblies, which would be loaded into the application... (like with SL). No?<br><br>Silverlight is intended for running in the browser -- but could we use this same technology to write "native" apps? We need a host of some sort for the UI (something that currently browser provides) or maybe we already have something like that?<br>
<br>Could I write an application for OSX and run it with DLR (with a small download and as low complexity as possible)?<br><br>I know I can download Mono and install it and use that for development and so on -- what about DLR?<br>
<br>Miha<br><br>ps: I could launch the same word on Win and on OS X, if Word would be written in .NET completely.<br>
