As I get time, I'm going to be looking at Mono.Cecil to see about IL generation. I don't think I can use it directly to compile non-C# code, but it will be very useful in testing to see what I can and cannot due (though, I'd imagine if you can do it in VC++, you can do it in IL). I watched a video about Microsoft's Roslyn project, and it gave me a couple ideas; most importantly to create an explicit syntax tree. That would make everything very easy after lexical analysis and dead-code removal and whatnot.

EDIT: just thought I'd give that little update :)

EDIT2: I've also decided to possibly include all of the data types .NET offers.

So, yet again I am starting this from scratch! I have something I'm working on with HOMER-16, but this is different. I really want to try to do this by myself (well, the coding part).

As of right now, the name of the language (and I guess its yet-to-be-designed IDE) is Hadean, which is also the earliest time period of Earth. I want to have support for pointers*, but keep in mind that this will be a high-level, .NET based language. I think some kind of library system would be helpful too. I'd also like to know what other people would like to see in a programming language, so if you have an idea or syntax request, please let me know. :)

* Looking at some IL generated from "unsafe" C# code, it looks like only pointers to data types would be allowed, but not to arrays. I'm not entirely sure about lists or dictionaries, though I'd imagine they'd be allowed.

Hadean... I like that name :D

I don't know if you could say I'm working on it with you, since I really have been useless save for ideas, perhaps. x.x

How is the project going thus far though?

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

So far so good! I have my scanner mostly done (at least it's good enough for now), and my parser is all set up to start building an AST :D
