REPL, Interactive/Script C# Code Semantics, and Scripting API Docs

Question

I wanted to share my internal working docs on REPL design, interactive/script C# code semantics, and the scripting/hosting APIs you've seen in the //build talk by Anders.  I think these will help answer some of the questions we've seen, but I'd also love to get any feedback you have on features, designs, or information you think is missing.

I have to stress that these are working documents of current design thoughts, and they do not promise anything in particular regarding what will finally ship.  These are also not polished documents necessarily meant for public consumption, so you may find some poor writing, grammar mistakes, or unclear sentences or paragraphs.  Feel free to point those out to me, but please don't let that reflect on the quality of professional communication from Microsoft.

Scripting APIs:

Thanks,

Answer 1

The REPL and Code Semantics .pdf document is damaged beyond repair. Can you regenerate is? Thanks!

Answer 2

I just downloaded it, and it worked fine.  I'm on a win7 box and using foxit reader.  What are you using?

Answer 3

I was using Adobe Reader. I switched to foxit and can open the document without a problem. Thanks. 

Answer 4

Just replying so that you'll notice I've updated the doc links.  I pushed the lastest REPL and code semantics doc and added the latest scripting API doc.  I left the old scripting API doc because it best describes what's in CTP2, but if you want to comment on the updated design we're currently looking at, see the second scripting API doc.

Thanks,

Bill
