Where's my scripting...

Now that VSA is dead, what can we do to implement scripting in .NET? I know
this question was aked a couple of time, but .NET never really adressed the
"scripting" side of programming. Even VSA was lacking, which is probably the
reason why Microsoft is just killing it right now.

So, what's the best way to do scripting "out-of-the-box"? And don't tell me
use the Microsoft Script Engine via COM Interop! I'm a managed guy, please :)

What's wrong with using VSA?

Etienne,
VSA besides being poorly documented is deprecated.

The solution suggested in the other post, using the C# compiler at runtime
to compile a piece of code and then load it into a seperate appdomain
provides all the flexibility you need, although you do need to write some
code.

And what about the DynamicMethod class. Seems like something powerfull enough
to efficiently produce code at runtime?
