Roslyn on .NET compact

Question

Just out of curiosity will roslyn work/will it ever work on any compact framework devices (windows phone, xbox 360). I have some really cool ideas for apps for teaching C# on the phone, but it'd require a C# interpreter (which I don't have the skill to write). All the past methods for getting custom scripts to run (reflection etc) have not been supported on the compact framework, and I assume this will fall under the same thing, but just wondering if it could.

Thanks, and Roslyn is awesome (already upgrading my video game engine from using reflection to using Roslyn).

Hi, Mirhagk.  As you note, CF .NET does not support ref.emit currently.  Using the Roslyn Scripting APIs will rely on ref.emit and LCG, so it will only work on MS platforms that support that.  I'm not aware of plans at this time to change CF .NET along these lines.
