Hi Narf,

I think this kind of experimentation is a very cool thing to do: at a minimum you will come to a greater understanding of what the language limits are, and your creativity is definitely showing here !

I don't have the 'bandwidth' or inclination to study your code and figure out what you are doing, but it seems to me that you are moving C# one step past 'var' and 'dynamic' towards behaving like more loosely-typed languages (Haskell ? Ruby ?).

For me there's so much built-in to .NET in its current highly-evolved state, that I am going to stick with it, as is ... and it's evolving rapidly.

If I want a List of integers converted to a string, (as early as .NET 2.0, I believe), I can use Linq like this: (and there may well be a simpler way: I'm no expert on Linq):

List<string> s = new List<int> {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}.ConvertAll(i => Convert.ToString(i));

So, please do, keep going, follow your vision ! Don't let those who 'don't get it' phase you in the least Smile | :)

best, Bill
