This may sound crazy.
But my understanding is the pins on the Arduino and Netduino are the same.
From the Arduino code I have seen, it seems pretty straight forward.
It should be possible to build a Arduino compatible PC application that takes Arduino sketches and turns them into similar .NET code, correct? Maybe something like a visual studio plugin?
Wouldn't this expose Netduino to a larger audience?
Or is this just a silly idea?

Hi Christopher,
Yes, you could absolutely do this for Arduino-language projects. The trouble you run into is that many Arduino projects need more than the basic set of features provided by those libraries...so they start using third party code.
A lot of that third party code is designed for AVRs, and uses AVR registers directly. That's the part that would be problematic for code translation. It's also a big issue for people wanting to move from AVR-based Arduinos to ARM-based Arduinos, since much of the support code requires rewriting.
