More like a project for fun, but since XAML Source Generator (XSG) has been hot (Uno, MAUI, and AXSG toolset for Avalonia), I think it makes sense to also try XSG on WPF.
That produces
- An XSG engine for WPF
- A language server based on this XSG for WPF.
- A protocol to push live edits from the editor to WPF designer.
- A new VS Code extension that binds them all.

Didn't aim to bring SharpDevelop 4 back, but at least part of it now lives with a modern editor.
