Build Your Own .NET Language and Compiler Edward G. Nilges
Publisher: Apress

This applies to all language features, standard library functions and classes, and public APIs. .NET Classbox introduces a new syntax for “using” to C# – basically, you can use individual classes as well as whole namespaces, and you can extend the individual classes you use. Phalanger is compiler that generates .NET assemblies from PHP code, so it runs in a .NET virtual machine. Certainly every processor has its own assembler and they are very specific, but the browser's JavaScript VM is what runs the "new machine code. That's a nice position to be in. Zend may as well come up with their own JIT compiler. Most web developers are either building things for one customer, or they're building web apps that they will host themselves. I think some people thought I was joking earlier today when I said that we have our own compiler, Wasabi, for FogBugz. Our goal is to make the open web a compelling virtual machine, a target for compiling other languages and platforms. If you have worthless tests covering essentially non-functional code, then neither the compiler nor your coverage tool will ever be able to say “this property doesn't appear to be used by anything”. The latest benchmarks seem to indicate that PHP applications compiled by Phalanger execute noticeably faster than when they Others presented more emotional arguments like the fact that core developers have been working for years on the C language code that executes PHP and its extensions. But most FogBugz customers don't want their proprietary project data on NET, but then I'd have to pay engineers to install Mono for all our Unix customers, and the . You don't test the .NET StreamWriter class to make sure it writes to a stream; you test the code you've written to make sure it writes the right thing to the stream. Mozilla is doing this with the clear goal to compile things to JavaScript and make it perform well. In this first release, we're focused on compiling low-level code like C and C++. Obviously, that What I'd like to see is a more modular way of building compilers, so that integrating a small language feature like classbox would be a small amount of effort. I've typically resorted to rolling my own but that's obviously not practical in many cases.
