1. Here's an article explaining how to dynamically compile code and inject into a running system in C#. Very funky, I wonder how well it works. Of course, there's no hope of replacing an existing assembly in memory, so you can't use this too often without restarting your app once in a while.

3. Smart Software: Dynamic Typing in C#. This post was from July, 2005. I can't wait for C# 3.0. Type inference and lamdas (among many other things), woo! C# 3.0 is when C# starts transitioning from being a pretty good language to being a very good language.

5. LuaJIT "is a Just-In-Time Compiler for Lua 5.1.", and Coco "is a small extension to get True C Coroutine semantics for Lua 5.1... True C coroutine semantics mean you can yield from a coroutine across a C call boundary and resume back to it." Lua 5.1 was just released the other day, btw.

6. GameDev.net - Using Lua with C#:

   Embedding Lua into C# with LuaInterface is so easy that it's almost embarrassing.

   Rock. Very good article.

7. Harry Fuecks: A pro-PHP Rant. Would have blogged this last night (I did blog some links from the article) but I fell asleep

   Heh, Matt comments: "Hear hear. Sometimes I feel guilty about how easy it has been to scale WordPress.com from 1 to 110,000 blogs in just a few months."
