Roslyn VS Nemerle

Roslyn

• Getting System.Threading.ThreadStateException when triying to copy from a Datagrid cell

  But that doesn't work: ASYNC Main Does not Respect [STAThread]

• How can I make my .EditorConfig format my code like this when the parameters etc is too long/many?

  I think the closest thing to this is "max-column", but it's not implemented in Roslyn. There's an alternative tool in the comments though.

• Is .NET open? MS pushing a proprietary extension to replace OmniSharp

  Ah come on! It's more complicated than that.

  Most of the heavy lifting in OmniSharp is done by Roslyn [0]. Roslyn is the open source C# compiler and code analysis library maintained by MS. You cannot overstate how much effort has gone into Roslyn, and how much money MS has invested to make it work. OmniSharp is essentially a wrapper[1] around Roslyn (before Roslyn it was Mono), and while the OmniSharp team did a nice job developing a nice intellisense UX around it all, it is not like MS is taking it all away from them. Incidentally, it is almost certain that new intellisense plugin by MS will also be built on top of Roslyn.

  ...Che è completamente open source (incluse tutte le feature proposal e spec ufficiale) e che gira su un runtime che è anche quello completamente open source e anche multipiattaforma (incluso Linux, MacOS, Wasm, etc.)? 🙃

• Unpopular opinion maybe but C# is getting too bloated

  One of the least obvious complexities is in error handling. C# tends to give "good" diagnostics and will even help push you in the right direction at times. Consider for example that C# 11 is getting user-defined checked operators and so now public static T operator checked +(T left, T right) is now valid. One might assume that public static T operator unchecked +(T left, T right) is also valid, but it isn't. The compiler could spew 15 different errors about all the things it expected (commas, parentheses, binary operators, etc). Or it could fail gracefully and say "Unexpected keyword 'unchecked'": https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/issues/60394

• Lisp, Smalltalk, and the Power of Symmetry
  2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 29 May 2022

  For me there was a huge divide between those who were supplying Smalltalk and worked that side of the fence, and the customers who were trying to solve problems. I saw that as why Smalltalk lost to simpler/arguably stupider tech like Java.

  I have sometimes pondered whether to try making a system that kind of rhymed with Smalltalk, but using Roslyn[0] instead. Although I envisage it as being a kind of playground where you code like Smalltalk, with the artifacts being produced as conventional class files and whatnot so the final build could be done with the normal command line tools.
