This is definitely interesting, but I'd love to see other .NET framework implementations open sourced as well. The micro framework is the only one I know of that doesn't JIT the code, but rather interprets CIL directly, and it also uses a simple mark-and-sweep GC.
Since footprint is the main constraint here, it'd be nice to see an optimizing CIL compiler combined with this to produce native images. You could cut a whole lot of code out of the runtime by doing so, while increasing performance by a huge amount.

- daeken 17y agoRotor is not open source. It uses a shared source license which would taint me, making it impossible for me to work safely on any other .NET implementation.
- bad_user 17y agoThat's a PITA since I was planing on studying it. Are you sure? Do you have any references?
- daeken 17y agoThis is more focused on the .NET Class Libraries, but Rotor falls under this as well. From Miguel de Icaza: http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2007/Oct-03.html http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2007/Oct-03.html
