微軟將C#編譯器Roslyn開源

        在 2014 微軟 Build 大會上，Anders Hejlsberg 親自宣布 .NET 編譯平臺 Roslyn 開源。

        Anders Hejlsberg 是 Turbo Pascal 編譯器的主要作者，號稱 Delphi 和 C# 之父，同時他也是 .NET 創立者。 

        Roslyn 是以 API 為驅動的下一代編譯器，集成在最新版的 Visual Studio 上。它開放 C# 和 Visual Basic 編譯器的 API，使得開發者可以借助編譯器進行解析代碼文件、動態為編程語言增加功能、擴展編譯器、自定義編譯器動作等操作。

        Cloud and Enterprise 執行副總裁 Scott Guthrie 先生表示，今天宣布的決定是 .NET 基金會廣泛倡議的一部分，公司將來開源更多的項目，現已啟動 24 個 .NET 開源項目，大部分都是經 Apache 2.0 許可發布的。
