C#Shell Task List

Large tasks:

• Better integration with MCS
  • Faster compiling
    At least we should be able to save some compiler startup/tear-down time, as we already know which .dlls and variables the user uses, and this does not need to be established every time we compile a small piece of user code (I think).
  • Better parsing and execution
    We could remove the need for the #-sign and we should start handling classes in user code.
• GUI Work.

  At least we need menus for load, save, exit, and help.

  We also need to figure out which other menus are needed.

• Figure out how to handle save / load-ing when static / unserializable stuff are used.
• Putting the user environment in a different process than the GUI.

  Now, the user process and C#Shell (GUI) executes in the same process, which can make trouble if the user tries to use some of the same static stuff the GUI is using, such as GTK# initialization. Also, when the user code crashes, the GUI will also crash, which is undesirable.

• Make C#Shell work with other .Net languages.
• Make C#Shell work with other non-.Net languages.
• Testing and making C#Shell run on Microsoft Windows.
