Here is a small Lisp-like compiler for .NET, designed mainly for rapid
Domain Specific Languages implementation:

http://www.meta-alternative.net/techpreview.html

It is a binary preview release so far. Later on, depending on the
level of public interest, core sources may be released under QPL.

Potentially interesting features include:
 * Incremental, Common Lisp-style compilation semantics, while
maintaining a normal .NET separate compilation mode.
 * Compiler building tools out of the box: pattern matching, smart AST
transforms, easy lexing & parsing,   etc.
 * Relatively efficient, self-bootstrapping, pure .NET compiler, no
3rd party tools required.
 * Hierarchical metaprogramming paradigm is utilised extensively.
 * Works well with Unix and Mono (developed and tested with Mono
1.3.x).

How about documentation?

 Only annotated examples & tutorial so far, and generic architecture
notes (see outline.txt).

 Autogenerated documentation will be available later along with
sources; there's no reason to publish the documentation on not yet
stabilized public API - in order to discurage people from trying to
use it prematurely. We need some more generic feedback first to
decide, which parts of the core to disclose.
