    So we have IL2CPP, coming up is an upgrade to c# backend, both fantastic.
    Compile time might speed up a tad with the new backend but nothing that changes the way we work so I was wondering if any work if being done towards seriously speeding that up, like a sort of interpreted .NET?

    We do have some work in the pipeline for compile/build time improvements across a number of platforms and toolchains. I'm not sure yet when various parts of it will land in releases, but it is a focus for us now.

    Great to hear, Josh!!
    Seems from focus on compile that you're not considering running .NET in interpreted from within the editor, is that right?

    What do you mean by 'interpreted .NET' exactly?

    Oh ok, so there is no such thing as interpreted .NET? (I miss BASIC :)
    Assembly control will be such help! I think one of you mentioned it at Unite, each namespace build its dll or something.

    @N3uRo

    We ran into a few unexpected issues with it. I think most of those are fixed now, but I won't make the same mistake again of promising something until it is ready!
