Microsoft and Scala .net

The .NET version is very much work in progress. The .NET backend is mostly
working, so you can compile to MSIL (using a compiler running on the JVM).

We're working on bootstrapping the compiler on .NET.

A central issue we're having right now is that there is no test suite (zero tests)
for Scala.NET, so we don't really know what the quality of the generated code is.

Help from the community would be very much appreciated!

As spotted on Planet Scala, Erik Engbrecht recently tweeted:

 ".NET version of #scala sponsored by Microsoft probably sometime next year
#scalaliftoff"

and

 "EPFL almost has a #scala compiler that runs natively on .net and should
have it by the end of the year #scalaliftoff"

...but I've seen nothing more about it, anywhere. Is this real or just
random electron chatter? Is it supposed to be still under wraps?
