Minsk is a handwritten compiler written in C# that illustrates basic compiler construction concepts, inspired by Roslyn. It exposes APIs for parsing and type checking to demonstrate how a language can be tooled inside an IDE.
Use cases
- learn how compilers work by reading a small handwritten implementation
- study lexing, parsing, binding, and type checking in C#
- build a toy programming language with an IDE-like tooling experience
- follow along with a live-coded compiler video series
- understand how Roslyn-style compiler APIs are structured
When to choose
- you want an educational, readable codebase for learning compiler construction
- you prefer C#/.NET and want a Roslyn-inspired example
- you want to see how parsing and type-checking APIs enable IDE tooling
When to avoid
- you need a production-ready compiler or language toolchain
- you want a high-performance or feature-complete language implementation
- you need a maintained project with active releases
