And yet... they ended up doing just that? But only after pouring tons of time and energy into not doing so.

  At what point was FogBugz rewritten?
  • DannoHung 11y ago
    Presumably some time before they killed Wasabi? Am I misunderstanding at a fundamental what the heck Wasabi is?

      Wasabi is a compiler. The output of Wasabi was C# code. One day, I deleted Wasabi and checked in the C# code. I did not have to rewrite FogBugz in the slightest.

        Ohhh, I thought the target was CLR. I didn't realize it was a transpiler.

            transpiler ⊂ compiler

        (lightbulb!) but, and maybe they were also recompiled, did you keep your tests as well?
        • krallja 11y ago
          Most of them are NUnit tests, which don't care what source language the assembly under test is written in. A few of the oldest FogBugz tests are in `unitTest.asp` and were written in Wasabi. They got transpiled over to C# like everything else. Some are confirming Wasabi language features (e.g. `testLambda`, `testDictionary`, `testErrorHandling`), so I could remove them. All of Wasabi's unit tests were deleted with Wasabi.
