Microsoft makes half a dozen compilers, for as many languages:

https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn https://github.com/fsharp/fsharp https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell

The only one that I know of that is closed is C++.

PowerShell is a pile of slightly incompatible versions, you end up with code targeting the oldest version you need (often version 2 for Windows 7).
