There are also tools that translate from the one to the other, but it becomes cumbersome.<BR/>With Matlab, for example, you use the exact same syntax for coding and scripting, so you can take part of a script and put it in your code, or run using the script engine a portion you copied from some module.Ilan Assayaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05885131038068500210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15758573.post-1161267491921538032006-10-19T16:18:00.000+02:002006-10-19T16:18:00.000+02:00Your requirements read like the Powershell documen...Your requirements read like the Powershell documentation.

Since most of my codebase is in C# (apart for the Matlab stuff), I won't be able to move code from my scripting tests to the code base as easy as I would like it. This leaves me with using it only when I need ad-hoc scripts, and that's not enough.<BR/>I could start using Boo in my code base, but that's not really an option right now (not that I know if it's worthwhile frankly).<BR/><BR/>Really - I want something simple: let me script in C#!<BR/>Am I the only one who thinks this makes sense?Ilan Assayaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05885131038068500210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15758573.post-1161255896403970522006-10-19T13:04:00.000+02:002006-10-19T13:04:00.000+02:00You can try Boo.It has a tool called booish which ...You can try Boo.<BR/>It has a tool called booish which gives you just that (but with no intellisense).<BR/>I use it all the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
