Roslyn
The Roslyn .NET compiler provides C# and Visual Basic languages with rich code analysis APIs.
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

Would definitely recommend opening a discussion (or finding an existing discussion, I think one might exist already) on the csharplang repo: https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/discussions

Absolutely. And one guy's already working on that, I hope it will one day become a reality. [Link](https://github.com/LanguageDev/Fresh-Language-suggestions)

Iron python
Implementation of the Python programming language for .NET Framework; built on top of the Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR).
Iron Python? It originated at MS, but was abandoned and split off over 10 years ago. I'm not sure if that qualifies it as "non MS". It's part of the .NET Foundation now, though.

There's also boo-lang which was quite nice for DSLs / configuration.

Where I work, we have some transpiled F#-to-JS (via Fable) in production. There's a bit of business logic that makes sense on both the client and server, and it works perfectly for that.
