On Wednesday, Microsoft rolled out the community technology preview of Project Roslyn, a new type of compiler which was first debuted at BUILD earlier this year, the company executive overseeing the C# programming language announced.

"This project is about revising what compilers do," said Anders Hejlsberg in a talk at Microsoft's Build conference. "[It] is about opening the compiler and making all that information available so [the developer] can harness all of this knowledge," he said.

Based on the Mono Project, Roslyn is designed to be a more open compiler that allows developers access and utilize the data that it is generating on the Visual Basic and C# code it is compiling. It resembles a model developed by Miguel de Icaza's Mono Project, in which the information the compiler generates about a program can be reused as a library.
