This won't get much love, instead of a compiler from the North Atlantic giant, if you were to use C# anyway why not consider using mono for your compiler/build infrastructure? While I would avoid mono and it would be difficult for folks to build/develop, if something could be done in C#, could n't it be done in Java, Scala or anything that could run on JVM? If this is possible, it will save us from nonoss, proprietary build/runtime dependency. Cheers. > > I'm unclear how this impacts contributing the code to Apache CloudStack. In > particular: > > > 1.
