But despite The build is orchestrated by a build script, which is essentially just another piece of Fantom code. At first, the programming community resisted the use of computers for program development, perhaps for the same hard-wired reasons some guys don't ask for directions when they're lost. The great thing about writing a compiler is you can make up your own language. The biggest challenge with developers writing their own parser is that building a parser is quite complicated and requires a lot of coding effort. The brackets contain variables which map to a .NET class that defines them. They can parse expressions in all the .NET languages and generate IL code. The advantage of using Instead of building a custom parser, another alternative is using the .NET compilers. The advantage of compiled code is that execution is quite fast but on the other hand it takes a significant time to compile the code. Microsoft's own build tool – if you're using visual studio, you're already using MSBuild. Fantom is a bit different from the languages we looked at previously--including Ceylon, Kotlin, Xtend, Groovy and even Java 8's new lambdas -- as it targets multiple platforms.

Compilation for JVM, .Net and JavaScript are currently supported, and given the infrastructure they've put into place, it should be possible to target other platforms as well. Sure how many developers in the general population ever aspire to create their own computer language though - notwithstanding Apress having just published a book entitled Build Your Own .NET Language and Compiler.
