When can we see CoreCLR backend for TypeScript ?

  What do you mean by that?

    Current TS is targeting JS backend. CoreCLR backend would mean you will have a unified codebase both on browser and server (CLR VM).

      Not sure I follow. You can use Typescript on the server already with Node.js. The CLR isn't available in the browser.

        I'm guessing parent means compiling TypeScript down to CoreCLR bytecode instead of to Javascript and running through Node for execution. Pretty big job, that one.

          Not running through Node, Just run CoreCLR TS code as a backend server similar to ASP.NET

            Sorry, I wasn't clear, that's what I meant. I was using running the code through Node as the current situation, and trying to communicate you meant the opposite of that :)
