Re: .NET Compiler for Interactive Fiction

That's an interesting idea, but I think he's doing it more out of a
sense of intellectual curiousity than a desire to simply use the
"best" of existing tools. That is, he wants to know how to write a
compiler.


If anything, exposing the .NET framework is probably going to be the
least of his challenges. Object discovery and interface negotiation
are fairly straightfoward in the Framework. More or less in .NET,
once you can expose one object you can expose them all.
