Mono and Roslyn
Posted: Thu Apr 10, 2014 7:06 amHey guys, I thought this was pretty interesting. Miguel de Icaza posted on his blog the plan for how Roslyn and Mono will work together in the future: http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2014/Apr-09.html
There's also this section regarding XS/MD:
It's still really early, but it will be pretty exciting to see how this evolves over time. Also, maybe eventually the Cobra compiler could use Roslyn to generate and compile C# strictly in memory. Roslyn would probably also make it easier to write a C# to Cobra converter which could be a pretty fun project.

Adopting Roslyn: MonoDevelop/Xamarin Studio
Roslyn really shines for use in IDEs.
We have started an effort to adopt Roslyn in MonoDevelop/Xamarin Studio. This means that the underlying NRefactory engine will also adopt Roslyn.
This is going to be a gradual process, and during the migration the goal is to keep using both Mono's C# compiler as a service engine and bit by bit, replace with the Roslyn components.
We are evaluating various areas where Roslyn will have a positive impact. The plan is to start with code completion [4] and later on, support the full spectrum of features that NRefactory provides (from refactoring to code generation).
