I thought C# compiling was already part of the .NET library...?
It is.
Class: CSharpCodeProvider
Namespace: Microsoft.CSharp
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
Provides access to instances of the C# code generator and code compiler.
The REPL in Hejlsberg's demo requires a bit more than what
CSharpCodeProvider offers. Instead of compiling an entire file, the loop
needs to compile a code snippet and save the resulting environment for
further evaluations.
The changes in the compiler aren't huge, and the effect is quite nice.
