Wes Dyers' reports from the C# compiler front

If you are the kind of guy fascinated by the C# language and LINQ who wants to know more about what's happening under the hood and how Microsoft is building these new toys, you should read Wes Dyer's blog. Wes is a developer on the C# compiler team. On his blog he relates his journey with the C# compiler towards version 3.0.

Wes Dyers' posts let you know how LINQ to Objects queries work, how to test the correctness of the compiler's interpretation of query expressions, why it is difficult to generate understandable compilation error messages and how to fix that, how transparent identifiers are used in query expressions, and many more subjects along the same lines.

It's always fascinating to see how these guys are building powerful and smart tools that we'll use everyday without having to worry about all technical difficulties they deal with for us.
