It's my understanding that the LISP -> CPP was only done in the beginning and is no longer carried out. I.e. all recent development is done directly in the .cpp

It's my understanding that the LISP -> CPP was only done in the beginning and is no longer carried out. I.e. all recent development is done directly in the .cpp source.
There's a reply from a Microsoft employee that seems to confirm this, see https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/408#issuecomment-78081022 https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/408#issuecomment-78...
- teh_klev 10y agoHere's a comment by Patrick Dussud on an old blog entry explaining the LISP origins of the GC: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/patrick_dussud/2006/11/21/how-it-all-startedaka-the-birth-of-the-clr/#comment-163 https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/patrick_dussud/2006/11/21/h... I thought I knew a thing or two about .NET, having used it since beta days, I had no idea LISP was used to bootstrap the original GC code. Fascinating stuff. I've archived it here just in case: http://archive.is/1qk25 http://archive.is/1qk25 Patrick is also interviewed on Channel9 and he talks about the GC.
