In this tutorial we show how to create a transpiler, a software that can be useful in a few scenarios: if you have a large codebase in a language that does not fit your needs anymore, you still want to keep developing in one language, but you need better performance or need to run in […]
We have already seen some examples of transformation and analysis of C# code with Roslyn. Now we are going to see how to create a more complex example of code generation with Roslyn and parsing with Sprache. We are going to create a skeleton class from a PlantUML file. In short, we are doing the […]
Beyond the source code Last week we have seen how to use Roslyn to rewrite source code to your liking. That’s all well and good, but it’s not the only thing you can do when you have a compiler open and ready to do your bidding. Another possibility is to leverage the knowledge that the […]
The code for this post is on GitHub: getting-started-roslyn Under the hood Making a programming language actually useful is not simply about designing it well. It is also about providing supporting tools around the language: compilers, obviously, but also editors, build systems, etc. There are few languages that give you tools to play under the hood. […]
