Thanks! I really appreciate you taking the time to write this up — super insightful.

I definitely get the appeal of internal DSLs, especially with how powerful C#’s fluent APIs have become. W++ takes a bit of a different path: more like “what if .NET had a native scripting layer that felt expressive and lightweight,” even if that means giving up some safety or flexibility of the host language.

And wow — 3 years with IronPython is no joke. Totally agree on how tricky it can get once you step outside the intended boundaries. I’m keeping W++ focused more on smaller, experimental scripting for now, but your point about memory and lifecycle management is a great reminder for anything that gets more ambitious.

Cheers for the link to Fowler’s DSL article too — gold.
