In my (brief, haphazard) research for this article, I somehow missed this article. Thanks for sharing it. I really like the analogy with a bridge loan.
Given both the tedunangst's article and yours, I wonder what has happened to the JavaScript output feature? I don't seem to see it mentioned in your article? But I don't really know about Roslyn, so I'm not sure what it provides; does it have anything helpful? (I assume it has some kind of a C# generator; probably a C# parser too?), but - either you don't have a need for JS output anymore, or you've written a C#->JS translator? (Or used some 3rd-party one?)
I'm very curious, would be grateful for an answer! tx
See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9780798 - I took the output of Wasabi's JavaScript generator and checked it in to source control. If someone wants to change the JavaScript, they have to do it manually, as there is no longer any program maintaining that code for them.
Roslyn is an open-source implementation of the entire C# compiler, with some fantastic design decisions that allow you to use it in pieces or all together. https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn I used the C# generator portion of the platform.
