.Net Support

Will PPL2 be able to target Compact Framework 3.5?

Will it generate compiled files? Or it runs over an interpreter?



Moreover... May I import libraries I already have in C# to call them from a PPL program?


Thanks:)

Hi,

PPL 2 will not target .NET frameworks, neither will offer compiling to x86 binaries. The interpreter is faster than 1.x but remains practically the same. V2 focuses more on the IDE and the object-oriented framework with visual programming. We plan on rewriting the compiler/interpreter in v3.

Hi Kornalius, thanks for the answer


I want to leverage existing code in my codebase (mostly C# and vb.net). This code model the "business" in a desktop app, and compiles fine in Compact Framework

So I was wondering if I will be able to use those dll in a PPL 2 project...
Is it possible? Is there a migration path? Or I'll have to wait till version 3? :eek:

Hi Daniel,

Migrating C# code to PPL should be pretty easy with version 2. If a method or property is missing, the libraries are open source, so you can add them easily.
