Re: Language support for C# in org-babel

[poverobuosodonati <poverobuosodonati@gmail.com>]

Thank you so much for your input and guidance.

I have put my "patch request" in a public repository. Please find it here
https://codeberg.org/buoso/csharp-babel

I've tried to document the incentive as well as the usage quite extensive.

I would like to propose to merge this as a maintainer as I'd like to 
take care of this library in future. That is, of course, if you think it 
is a useful addition and legitimate proposal.

I am very much looking forward to feedback on the code, the process in 
general, or anything beyond that.

Thanks again and

Best regards,
Max
