I think removing the cmdlet keyword is a very good decision. It reduces complexity of the language and makes PowerShell a more consistent environment (cmdlets in the function provider?!). Are you still going to enforce verb-noun names for these "funclets"?

PS: Shouldn't Emit-xml be called ConvertTo-XML or Out-XML?

Haha, except ... you have to! (Wait, I mean) At least we get to know you're impatient too ;)

Yup. A good idea is a good idea.

There are a lot more scenarios for creating documents (e.g. XML) than Web applications though.

Two questions:

1. When you say "CMDLETS go away", does that mean totally?

2. When do you expect to release CTP3? :-)

The language keyword we introduced in CTP2 will go away and be replaced with an model which just uses FUNCTION.

> 2. When do you expect to release CTP3? :-)

Certainly before the end of the year.
