    An alternative you might consider if using the Bridge.NET C# to JavaScript compiler. The downside is that it's no longer under active development. It was up until 5 months ago, though.

    No, not always true. Even in modern compilers -- as matured and as modern as VS 2022-- you would still get bug.

    I found one[0]. In my case it's easy to tell it's a compiler bug because the program just can't compile properly. But it's also not easy to reproduce, which just proves how well tested compilers usually are.

    MSBuildLocator for .NET Framework can only search for MSBuild 15, 16, 17 (Visual Studio 2017, 2019, 2022). So, if a user has a fairly old project and is using Visual Studio 2015, Roslyn won't be able to find a suitable MSBuild. Even if the project is fully built on the system, Roslyn simply won't work. We've reported this issue on GitHub. To cut a long story short, the devs don't prioritize it, citing that VS 2015 and earlier versions are just outdated. However, it turns out that if the user has the .NET SDK, Roslyn starts using a backup plan. If you have a .NET Framework legacy project, Roslyn will try to use BuildHost for .NET Core. Most of the time, this works fine, but issues can occur if there's something that isn't supported by MSBuild for .NET Core. You'll see this in the description of the third issue.

    C# extension works well and uses Roslyn Language Server that is part[0] of the Roslyn (C# compiler) - this is what the base C# extension[1] uses. Both of these are licensed under MIT.

    The only closed-source component is 'vsdbg' which is Visual Studio's debugger shipped as a component that the extension uses. It, however, can be replaced with Samsung's 'NetCoreDbg' by using the extension fork[2].
