Get code editor with completion, semantics and type checking with one click. Obviously the idea of needing to build one's own data structures from scratch is not a factor for at least their huge slice of users. Roslyn principally is a rewrite of the C# Compiler in C#, and the VB.NET compiler in VB.NET. Design your own Domain Specific Language with full development environment. The w3schools site shows 7.7% and Net Market Share shows 18.2%. Historically both compilers were written in C++, which has hampered the progression of the languages almost to the point of stagnancy*. Let's say someone else created a basic calculator-like "language": Even without knowing the syntax, you can probably figure out how it works since it's written very close to the standard way of describing a language. Nilges, Build Your Own .NET Language and Compiler ISBN: 1590591348 | edition 2004 | CHM | 388 pages | 9 mb This practical book presents. If you give this language "3*4", it will With all of these different tools to learn, it's no wonder why most people don't even bother trying to create their own language. Sometime later, the What is Roslyn? Pascal was designed to be a general purpose language to be suitable for describing data structures and algorithms in a clear way and be suitable for most programming tasks, including compiler writing, text processing, scientific/numerical/ graphics programming, information management programming, and system programming. If you would like to use specialized syntax for the general idioms like those shown above or you would like syntax for your own idioms, what can you do? Let's imagine that it were possible. These browsers You can have all the new syntax you want for your browser scripts, right now, if you write in another source language and compile to the ECMAScript 3 dialect of JavaScript for the billions of browsers in the wild. Unfortunately, most texts on language and compiler development are hard to digest, written from academic platforms for use in college-level computer science programs. Suddenly meta-programming was about to become a boat-load easier, as it wouldn't require IL generation, Expression Tree building or other esoteric techniques – just plain text.
