Phoenix & Boo

If I'm reading it correctly, this has the potential to bring the Open Compiler Architecture from Boo to the rest of .Net world, as well as to native code. The implications of this are stagerring. Yes, please let it out. Show it the light of day. Bring bliss to our work.*

But seriously, this is something that I really wants, since it can cut down code so fast you couldn't even believe. In truth, I would be very surprised if Microsoft released this tool to the public as a production tool. From my hacking on Boo, the test matrix when you start letting people inject code into your compiler is simply huge, because you can't keep certain invariants in place any more.

*A tad over much, isn't it?  :-)
