I think when .Net 10 is released it's a good time to give it a whirl.

New in the upcoming release[1] will be the ability to run C# files as if they were scripts[2], ie without an explicit build step. Should lower the barrier to just fooling around.

I also like how they've gone away from the "everything must be an object" style ala Java, and allow top-level statements so it reads more like C/C++. It's just sugar, but for smaller programs that really makes a difference IMHO.

That actually sounds really cool. Being able to run C# like a script lowers the friction a lot. Thanks again.
