Today I tried to use the IsolatedStorage in managed JavaScript with Silverlight 1.1 [1]. The IsolatedStorage can be used to store data on the client. Currently the alpha version supports 1MB, which is more than storing data in cookies, but maybe will be changed in the future. Perhaps there will be a setting in a future options dialog where you can specify how much you will allow to store locally.

The idea was to put all JavaScript libraries into the DLR of Silverlight to get better performance, but a first tests failed or is compared to JavaScript directly in the Web browser very slow.

At MIX 07 Jim Hugunin announced a new level of support for dynamic languages on .NET that they're calling the DLR (Dynamic Language Runtime). With Silverlight 1.1 you get support for dynamic languages today: Phyton, JavaScript (EcmaScript 3.0), Visual Basic and Ruby.
