Thoughts on building on a VM (in particular, .NET/CLR) but not "exposing" the underlying VM?

• Oberon

  76 427 7.4 C++

  Oberon parser, code model & browser, compiler and IDE with debugger

That sounds rather similar to what I did with my Oberon+ implementation (see https://github.com/rochus-keller/Oberon/). I'm using Mono instead of CoreCLR, because it is leaner and runs on more architectures. Some versions of Mono turned out to be even faster than CoreCLR (see https://www.quora.com/Is-the-Mono-CLR-really-slower-than-CoreCLR/answer/Rochus-Keller). My Oberon IDE includes the mono executable plus the mscorlib.dll (together less than 10 MB); the IDE communicates with the mono debugger via the official socket interface.

• PeLib

  4 6 0.0 C++

  This is a modified version of https://github.com/LADSoft/DotNetPELib

I'm usually working with the third edition of the ISO 23271 standard, which corresponds to ECMA 335 5th Edition. There is also the book ".NET IL Assembler" (2014) by Serge Lidin which gives some additional context and a good structure to learn the details. My compiler is written in C++, not depending on the .Net framework; I don't use the reflection and emit features of .Net, but https://github.com/rochus-keller/Pelib/ to generate assemblies; also the generated code only requires minimal mscorlib.dll features, so I can use a minimal CLR.
