Sandboxing, Custom API Stateful Hot reloading, and Rider ide support?

[Shadowblitz16]

Does cs-script have these features?

• By sandboxing I mean it's safe to download and run scripts on clients.
• By Custom Api I mean We don't have to include the System namespace and we can actively control what namespaces and types are available, event primitive ones.
• By Stateful hot reloading I mean we can compile the scripts on a server and the server doesn't need to be restarted and it continues to run without bugs.
• By Rider ide support I mean a plugin in Rider community edition that gives us intellisense for our custom script apis

If any of these are not supported is it possible we can get it added as a feature request?

The easiest way to understand CS-Script is to think about it as Python for C#. In fact, it was inspired by Python 20 years ago.

• > ... to download and run scripts on clients.
  Similar to Python, CS-Script does not have any sandboxing out of the box. If you download something from the internet, you will need to ensure the safety of the execution.
  The older versions targeting .NET Framework had integration with CAS, however, the later versions of .NET made CAS obsolete.
  Alternatively, you can only rely on Windows Sandbox, VMs and containers

• > ... We don't have to include the System namespace...
  You can achieve this by including a single import statement that imports all the namespaces you can imagine.
  The default new script does use this technique.

  css -new myscript.cs

• > ... we can actively control what namespaces and types are available, event primitive ones.
  This is not something that .NET supports. Unless I misunderstood you.

• > ... and the server doesn't need to be restarted and it continues to run without bugs.
  Yes, it is achievable, even though there are some constraints imposed by CLR.

• > ... By Rider ide support I mean a plugin in Rider...
  CS-Script plugins are only developed for editors that do not support C# natively (e.g. Sublime Text, Notepad++). For the proper IDEs, the project-based approach is more appropriate. Thus you can load your script to VisualStudio vith this command:

  css -vs test.cs

  If you want to use Rider instead of VS, you just need to set the envar CSSCRIPT_VSEXE to the location of the Rider executable and then the same -vs will be loading your script in the Rider:

  set CSSCRIPT_VSEXE=D:\tools\JetBrains.Rider\bin\rider64.exe
  css -vs test.cs
