L# seem cool and I am looking to use it as an embed scripting
language but the project seem dead. Does somebody still working on it ?

Yes!

I'm still using L# myself occasionally, and I still hope to find time to
do more work on the language itself.

I have a backlog of patches that people have sent me over the last year.
It's evident that people are still using L#.

I'd like to look at the possibility of incorporating the Microsoft
Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR) technology.

A US company has adopted L# as the principle scripting language for
their application. There is interest in building a compiler.

The last year has been very hectic for me professionally - lots of
project work - including some stuff for Microsoft (I'm now a Microsoft
MVP).

I'm still very keen on the whole L Sharp idea, so the lack of new
releases has been down to my lack of spare time, but not my lack of
commitment - My apologies to all!

If anybody is really keen and can demonstrate commitment and ability -
I'd be happy to look at opening up the source code tree to more
maintainers - Please email me if you are interested.

Rob.

This is a good news.
I am not sure I am skilled enough to become maintainer but if I make
some change I'll sent you.
I try to use L# on Mono and it work fine with eval from file but seem
there is a problem with eval from string probably due to lack of EOF
detect. I have to investigate further on this.

(Sorry for my poor Frenglish)
