This blog post points to part of a talk by Anders Hejlsberg at PDC talking about where they're going with C# 4.0: http://dobbscodetalk.com/index.php?option=com_myblog&show=C-Sharp-4.0-with-a-REPL-Read-Eval-Print-Loop-.html&Itemid=29 The part of this vid http://channel9.msdn.com/pdc2008/TL16/ which he points to at 60 minutes talks about the "compiler as a service". It's an idea which has been mentioned here many times, so I thought I would post this link. Very cool that C# is going to make this idea a reality. --bb

Interesting, thanks for the link. At 12:16 - "But of course there are many things we need to think about: immutable objects, purity of functions, isolation... and these are things that are heavily on our mind day-to-day." It's good to know D has all of the above taken care of. Andrei

I thought C# compiling was already part of the .NET library...?

It is. Class: CSharpCodeProvider Namespace: Microsoft.CSharp Assembly: System (in System.dll) Provides access to instances of the C# code generator and code compiler.

The REPL in Hejlsberg's demo requires a bit more than what CSharpCodeProvider offers. Instead of compiling an entire file, the loop needs to compile a code snippet and save the resulting environment for further evaluations. The changes in the compiler aren't huge, and the effect is quite nice. Andrei

This is an old vid but IIRC Miguel created a reply vid explaining how Mono had the ability to do REPLs for a long time.
