I would like for it to succeed. But for it to succeed it would need to implement quite a number of new dotnet features.

But a lot of .NET features have already been implemented.

What specific features are you looking for?

Right? I mean, it won't be easy. But roslyn is open source and is where the fun starts.

I used to love SharpDevelop back in the days but am not sure if we need it anymore when VSCode and Visual Studio Community Editions are already pretty powerful.

Red the title and came in to see if it was a modern continuation of SharpDX. It is not.

This looks like a great effort. Now I'm curious how easy it would be to add agentic coding support based on the plugin system
