Unity Developer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/28/2021 "the Dot Net compiler you don't wanna miss" 4/5 What do you like best about Roslyn? So, when I started using Roslyn, I had my doubts as we all have before shifting to a new compiler, but oh boy did it exceed my expectations, No more was my code having any compiler errors but it would also help me resolve the pre-coded errors in the existing projects. We would analyze our code and refactor all of it in Roslyn and it wouldn't feel like we are doing big things. It makes you feel like you are simply using a software as simple as Word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Roslyn? Well, sometimes I feel difficult to use it for API's and stuff but you do need to get familiar with the compiler. Once you are through its a piece of cake. So, yeah docs could have been well formatted (better than they are at the moment) but then yeah, you cannot blame them it depends on individual's way of perception and understanding. So as a beginner you might want to first go through all of the features without straightaway diving into the use of the compiler into your final and prouduction projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Roslyn: 1.) Go through documentation 2.) Be careful with the API parts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Roslyn solving and how is that benefiting you? I am using it for my Augmented Reality and Game development projects to get minimal errors and efficient codes for my projects without facing many bugs and errors in the final production version . Roslyn has : 1.) Saved a lot of time out of our coding practices 2.) Given us optimal solutions for our issues 3.) Helped us increase our revenue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am a regular programmer of C# and .NET and the native complier what we get with windows in visual studio. And what I wanted to get is a compiler as a service solution and Roslyn provides that. The best feature about Roslyn is when the application we are writing, we need a scripting interface. With Roslyn, we get script complied as the original C# code. With same programming capabilities with application source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Roslyn? The only thing that I feel might be the challenge that implementing Roslyn can be slightly tricky for the beginners. So the learning curve is a bit difficult.

What problems is Roslyn solving and how is that benefiting you? Roslyn allows for the implementation of aspect oriented programming. now there are certain advantages of using Roslyn such as policy login then it has a really great exception handling it allows for automatic auditing of various types of function calls it automatically generates different types of properties for automatic properties then it also has a really great thread synchronization system that is for multithreading it provides a really good way of using it.
