I don't really get this. Surely JavaScript and C# are so hugely different that any converted code would be horrific? Wouldn't it be simpler to just write JavaScript in JavaScript?

- Translating a statically-typed Object Oriented language to JS wouldn't produce hugely different (/horrific) code. From inheritance to lambdas, there are comparable features available in JS. Going from JS to C# might be harder though. - It might be simpler to write JS, but I can imagine people wanting to see if type-safety has benefits.

  That's right, it doesn't get horrific until you use goto or yield (which don't exist in Javascript so they have to be emulated).

    Some browsers, and ES Harmony, have yield. You could add a compiler switch to use native support, although only Firefox seems to support this just now. Curious to see how you managed the emulation - splitting up a function? Web workers? :)

      for (;;), continue and switch.
