文句

Microsoft is internally dogfooding its "Roslyn" compiler as a service technology, and is compiling internal daily builds of Visual Studio using "Roslyn."

That update, courtesy of a Microsoft December 16 blog post, is the first Microsoft has shared about its Roslyn technology in more than a year.

Microsoft's Roslyn effort is about re-architecting the C# and VB compilers to support "compiler as a service" (CaaS) scenarios. Currently, a compiler is a black box; with Roslyn, Microsoft is working on opening it up so that all of the information processed via a compiler is available in application programming interface (API) form.


解釋

to dogfood  "以自己的狗飼料餵食自己的狗" 為一俚語，大部分是指（電腦）公司以自己的產品來展示本身的品質及性能。這裡特指運用 Roslyn 來建構 Visual Studio。這兩者皆來自微軟本身。

compiler  編譯器，以人類了解的形式所寫的程式，翻譯成機器語言所需要的程式。
