I am also concerned about the control of patents, and the DotGnu(TM) team implementing patented interfaces that are of questionable value. Please note that ECMA sumbitted code is *not* covered by patents. In fact in my mail to the dotgnu list that got me banned, http://dotgnu.org/pipermail/pnet-developers/2003-August/000511.html I questioned the value of implemented this CodeDom interface. """ > - finish CodeDom and write a test suite I have done an analysis of the codedom last year. This is definitly something that I am interested in. In fact, I think we might want to create dotgnu replacement for thatt, because it is not standard and part of the patent application : 20030028685 http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PG01&p=1&u=/netahtml/PTO/srchnum.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1='20030028685'.PGNR.&OS=DN/20030028685&RS=DN/20030028685 United States Patent Application, 20030028685. System.CodeDom.Compiler.txt I have some ideas about how this replacment might look, in fact, my working model is much more fine tuned, and would allow code on the finiest expression level to be created.

There are numerous plans to convert java to IL. There is a project in DotGnu(TM) for a java frontend. There is a plan to have a parrot backend for dotgnu.
