Microsoft Silverlight 2.0 Wish List
Well, the year 2007 is nearly at the end and I have my short wish list for Microsoft Silverlight [1]. The following (maybe not complete) unsorted list would be nice to see in 2008 with the next CTP or final version:

New Examples and Tutorials
During the last days I have added some new tutorials [1] and examples [2] to my list. Dave Campbell sent me a short message that he has already a kind of Silverlight examples collection. Have a look on his list of Silverlight tagged articles he wrote [3] and external Silverlight examples as well [4].

Silverlight Examples
During the weekend I spent some minutes to collect some of the greatest Silverlight [1] examples. Most of them need the Silverlight 1.1 alpha runtime which is available for download here [2].

JavaScript and .NET Arrays in Silverlight
During my tests with the DLR (Dynamic Language Runtime) in Silverlight 1.1 [1] I came accross several things that didn't work first. Most of them could be fixed by using small workarounds.

IsolatedStorage and managed JavaScript
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.

DLR and Performance
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.

Running managed JavaScript in Silverlight
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.

The Silverlight team has released a new version [1] today at the MIX with .NET support. Since Mike announced [2] this Web developers are waiting for this new feature.
