What is Roslyn?



Roslyn is project name which available on GitHub.

Roslyn provides open-source C# and Visual Basic compilers with rich code analysis APIs. It enables building code analysis tools with the same APIs that are used by Visual Studio.


Why Roslyn?

Microsoft made a huge investment in this project. Because of Roslyn, Microsoft Release new language features faster like previously They release new language features like C# 5, C# 6, C# 7
may once in a year. But now they also able release in the point like C#7.0, C#7.1, C#7.2.

Roslyn provides open source API so anyone can make their own VS extension easily.

I think maybe in near future we don't need the third party excitation like Resharper or CodeRush for Visual Studio because of Roslyn.
