The introduction states (at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/hh500769): "The transition to compilers as services dramatically lowers the barrier to entry for creating code focused tools and applications. It creates many opportunities for innovation in areas such as meta- programming, code generation and transformation, interactive use of the C# and VB languages, and embedding of C# and VB in domain specific languages." --Pascal
