Re: [DotGNU]About scripting: SilverScript

[Adam Theo]

Hear, hear!

I agree, the world does *not* need another scripting language, unless 
you spoke to the leaders and major developers of at least 2 of the other 
main ones and got them to merge their efforts into yours (good luck).

I say adopt and contribute back to an existing open/free one such as 
Perl, Python, or maybe even better (dunno, no first hand experience), 
Ruby. This would be so much better than trying to make one from scratch 
when I (and I'm sure many others, too) have enough trouble keeping track 
of the existing ones.
