The Scala.Net compiler does compile itself, some 100k lines or so of Scala code. Microsoft's own build tool – if you're using visual studio, you're already using MSBuild. Design your own Domain Specific Language with full development environment. Obviously, that What I'd like to see is a more modular way of building compilers, so that integrating a small language feature like classbox would be a small amount of effort.

From a company point of view scarce resources, good developers, can be moved easily between guide here and a slide presentation overview of Scala.Net project here. How did you make this all work? The current implementation is already quite robust. 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. 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. I've typically resorted to rolling my own but that's obviously not practical in many cases. Get code editor with completion, semantics and type checking with one click. .NET Classbox introduces a new syntax for “using” to C# – basically, you can use individual classes as well as whole namespaces, and you can extend the individual classes you use. For the programmer it makes a great deal more sense too, learning one language to build applications for both environments. Let's imagine that it were possible. One excellent way to expand your mind as a programmer is to create your own programming language--not just a theoretical grammar, but an actual working compiler and/or interpreter.
