Scala-light?

I ordered a copy of Programming in Scala last Sunday -- and to my surprise, it arrived on my doorstep this morning. This, of course, deflected me from my F# and Silverlight activity today.

I think I shall have to try the experiment of putting Scala.Net into Silverlight, just as part of my usual "can I wedge this into that" play.

I would start with the recipe as before, in the library form; but to retro-fit a link against the Silverlight mscorlib which has the signature

.assembly extern mscorlib
{
.publickeytoken = (7C EC 85 D7 BE A7 79 8E ) // |.....y.
.ver 2:0:5:0
}
view raw gistfile1.cs hosted with ❤ by GitHub

rather than the mainline .Net 2.0 assembly.

What fun toys these are!
