Microsoft-RoslynA new compiler project in C# and VB. Very interesting. Is there anything similar for Java or C++?

Well ther is quite a few open source ones, but don't remember any with APIs. But mostly because I don't see a need for it so I haven't looked into it.

I see a lot of use, not directly though. New tools and addons for IDE will improve development. In VS 2010 refactoring, intellisense, etc. is so much better in C# compared to C++...

Ahh yes, of course. I didn't think of that. My VS install is loaded with addons, if this will facilitate us getting better and more powerful ones that's great.

Actually that might make for an interesting thread, which addons people are using.

Ramneek: cling (based on clang) is pretty cool, too: http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/cling-goes-public

Some nice posts on Roslyn:http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/sash ... ng.aspxBTW, "we're going to inspect a syntax tree, locate something interesting--and then modify it!"Anyone else couldn't help but think of Greenspun's Tenth Rule of Programming?
