Thanks for your reply. Yes, that's what I'm thinking to do more and more. One last thing : I'm optionally plan to implement a debugger to give the possibility to pause the execution and explore the call stack, variable's values...etc. Is it still possible to do by emitting bytecode? If I understand well it will generates an assembly in memory, so except with the Windows/.Net debugger or a homemade dirty bridge between the generated assembly and my program, I don't see how I can do it. Is there something for this?

Yes, it's pretty trivial to output pdb info using the emit code.

That makes totally sense. Then, like in in VS in fact, I think I will make 2 mode : Debug, that interprets the AST and gives the possibility to go step by step and set breakpoint. And Release : that emit the AST and run faster.
