Friend at work let me know about MS publishing their C#/VB.NET compilers as OpenSource:
http://roslyn.codeplex.com

This will be interesting to watch, I will follow with interest how this will evolve.

One of the pages which got my attention is list of things planned: multiline strings or binary literals - we have both in ThinBASIC, but VB.NET not yet?
http://roslyn.codeplex.com/discussions/540509

Another thing getting my attention was observing the OOP syntax - it looks quite bulky:


Public Property p As Integer
Get
End Get
Set(value As Integer)
End Set
End Property


For everybody BASIC positive, this is an interesting opportunity to look to the kitchen.
