I understand that the new ‘dynamic’ keyword in C# 4.0 facilitates interaction with dynamic .NET languages, and can help to cut code by using it instead of reflection. So usage is for very specific situations.

However, what I would like to know is if it will give C# all the dynamic benefits that one would get in other dynamic languages such is the IronXXX languages? In other words, will it be possible to write a entire application in C# in a dynamic language style?

And if it is possible, would it be recommended or not. And why, or why not respectively?

Will I get all the benefits of a dynamic language without switching to another language?

Using antlr and the DLR together -- AST conversion

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
I have an AST generated via ANTLR, and I need to convert it to a DLR-compatible one (Expression Trees). However, it would seem that i can't use tree pattern matchers for this as expression trees need their subtrees at instantiation (which i can't get). What solution would be best for me to use? >>> More
