This is generally accurate, but the last paragraph is a little suspect -- we're iterating on C# 6 right now and using the Roslyn compiler to build the features necessary for it.

I don't think compiler architecture is seriously stopping features in their tracks -- there's only a cost/benefit analysis. 'MichaelGG's suggestion on inferred members, for example, has implications on the contracts of types and usability/user interaction with the language, so it's not just a question of if we can do it, but if we want to do it.
