A programming language for AI on top of C# and Roslyn

Honestly — making AI read source files and count brackets to edit code feels insane to me. Imagine having full access to a building's blueprints — every wall, every pipe, every wire mapped out — but instead of using them, you hand the builder a photo of the building and say "figure it out." That's what we're doing when AI edits raw text while the compiler already has the complete structured model of the code. What AI gets access to VisualStudioWorkspace — same Roslyn semantic model that powers IntelliSense DTE2 — VS IDE control: build, debug, breakpoints, locals System.Windows.Automation — desktop UI automation Code navigation Roslyn indexes the entire solution on load. AI finds any class instantly and can trace all dependencies — up (base types, interfaces, callers) and down (derived types, implementations, callees). Every search is semantic, resolved by the compiler — not text grep. How code editing works AI doesn't edit text. It requests class structure as JSON — fields, methods, ty
